QuickMedical Equipment & Supplies

What QuickMedical Equipment & Supplies does

CME Corp (legal entity Claflin Service Company d/b/a CME) is a privately held, ESOP-owned specialty distributor of healthcare and life sciences equipment headquartered in Warwick, Rhode Island, with 25 facilities serving 49 U.S. states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). The company distributes more than 2 million products from over 2,000 manufacturers and supplements hardware resale with a vertically integrated services stack: project management, CAD-based layout and design, white-glove Direct-to-Site (DTS) delivery and installation, biomedical technical services performed by certified BMETs, and warehousing/staging across 25 locations. Its proprietary CME360 system tracks equipment from initial quote through final installation, providing real-time project visibility. Core customers are Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), hospital systems, ambulatory surgery centers, imaging centers, laboratories, clinics, long-term care and rehabilitation facilities, pharmacies, and government/military healthcare customers. The company holds contracts with federal government (GSA) and all major GPOs, and reports relationships with 10 of the 10 largest U.S. IDNs.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) hardware sales of medical and laboratory equipment at product margins; (2) integrated logistics, delivery, and installation services, often bundled with product sales; and (3) biomedical maintenance, repair, and calibration services delivered by CME-employed BMETs. Pricing is quote-based with Net 30 credit terms available to qualified hospitals and universities. Go-to-market is sales-led, organized by vertical (hospitals/IDNs, laboratory, imaging, surgery centers, government/military) and supported by inside sales, dedicated contractor and government sales teams, and an e-commerce storefront. The company is led by President and CEO KC Meleski (joined 2001 as Account Manager) and Executive Chairman Normand Chevrette. CME's history spans from its 1976 spin-out of The Claflin Company through a 2015 merger with Hospital Associates and acquisition of RSI that established nationwide presence, and most recently the 2024 acquisition of Storage Systems Unlimited and the 2026 integration of Moss Medical LLC, which added 3D design capabilities. The 2025 transition to ESOP ownership aligns the workforce with long-term enterprise value creation.
