After three years of cumulative company growth, DRE lands on the 2010 Inc. 5000.Louisville, Ky. — October 1, 2010 — Inc. magazine has placed DRE, Inc., a premier surgical and medical equipment supplier, on its fourth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.
“We are honored by this recognition from Inc. Magazine, as it heightens the satisfaction of providing quality medical and surgery equipment to hospitals and surgery centers throughout the world,” said Mike Spencer, DRE managing partner.
According to Spencer, DRE’s continued growth confirms the company’s development as a trusted source for top-quality new and refurbished medical equipment. “Healthcare facilities interested in saving on dependable new and refurbished equipment should look no further than DRE for anesthesia systems, vital signs monitors, operating room lights, surgery tables, and much more,” he said.
DRE is building upon recent successes by offering healthcare facilities essential medical equipment, such as the DRE Waveline Pro, an anesthesia gas monitor that recently received FDA clearance and is now available to hospitals and surgery centers throughout the United States. Other popular products from DRE include the Penlon Prima SP2, an anesthesia system featuring a touchscreen ventilator that provides six ventilation modes, and the DRE Anetic-P, a mobile surgery table that combines the positioning of a surgery table with the maneuverability of a stretcher.
In addition to new medical equipment, DRE provides medical facilities with an assortment of refurbished equipment, including late-model anesthesia systems such as the Datex-Ohmeda Aestiva/5 and Dräger Fabius GS. Other budget-friendly refurbished products from DRE include the Amsco 3085 SP, a surgery table capable of supporting up to 1,000 pounds, and the Valleylab Force FX, an electrosurgical generator designed for cutting, desiccating and fulgurating tissue.
On top of its success in healthcare markets, DRE has generated rapid growth in veterinary markets, increasing sales of veterinary equipment to veterinary hospitals and clinics, veterinary teaching institutions, and research facilities. DRE Veterinary is a complete source for veterinary anesthesia systems, patient monitors, surgery and exam tables, and much more. DRE Veterinary is also a complete source for medical gas equipment, and can help veterinary facilities design a complete medical gas system, including the placement of outlets, manifolds, alarms and zone valve boxes.

Music website Pandora, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, Brooklyn Brewery, and Radio Flyer, maker of the iconic children’s red wagon, are among the prominent brands featured on this year’s list.
