History
In 1973, after noticing many dirty and deteriorating plaster casts, a young pharmaceutical salesman in Tennessee came up with the idea of an orthopedic cast boot. That salesman was DeRoyal's founder, Autry O. V. "Pete" DeBusk. In 1974, Pete expanded the product line for DeRoyal's first company, STAT Medical and DeBusk Knitting Mills began operation. [5]
In March 1975, DeRoyal began building a National Sales Force. By 1978, DeRoyal had established a patient care division, a surgical division, and a patient protection products division.[5]
DeRoyal continued to expand its domestic manufacturing operations throughout the 1980s via construction and acquisition. During this period, the company pioneered systems for producing custom surgical procedure trays on a just-in-time basis.[5]
In 1990 DeRoyal reaches the milestone of 1,200 employees. Throughout the early 1990s, DeRoyal develops and introduces TraceCart, the first case-cart-to-waste-cart product delivery program. In 1992, DeRoyal began an international expansion by setting up manufacturing facilities in Kells, Ireland. DeRoyal also developed a wound care division: Wound Care was launched in 1992 with a manufacturing facility in Rose Hill, VA. Through out the 1990s DeRoyal continued to expand domestically and internationally via acquisitions.[5]
The 2000s saw additional expansion and product diversification for DeRoyal, with new facilities in Estonia, Dominican Republic, and Guatemala, new product offerings in fluid medical waste management and custom bracing, and a presence on the World Wide Web.[5]
Today, DeRoyal employs approximately 2000 people, markets more than 20,000 products and is the leading supplier of orthopedic softgoods to hospitals in the United States. The company has more than 70 U.S. patents.[5]
