DeRoyal

What DeRoyal does

DeRoyal Industries, Inc. is a privately held global medical device manufacturer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Powell, Tennessee, operating across four core product categories: Patient Care & Orthopedic (braces, supports, splints, walking boots), Surgical & Safety (instruments, safety devices, and procedural kits), Wound Care & NPWT (negative pressure wound therapy and advanced dressings), and Continuum® Solutions (an RFID-based inventory and charge capture platform that provides a digital chain of custody for medical supplies). The company is vertically integrated through wholly-owned subsidiaries covering OEM manufacturing (DeRoyal OEM), textiles (DeRoyal Textiles, Inc.), personal protective equipment (DeRoyal PPE), and sterilization services (Royal Sterilization Systems), with ISO 13485, MDSAP, CE Mark, and AS9100D certifications supporting multi-jurisdiction medical device production.

DeRoyal generates revenue through three primary streams: direct hardware sales of branded medical devices to healthcare providers, OEM contract manufacturing for other medical device companies (metals fabrication, textiles, sterilization), and recurring subscription revenue from the Continuum RFID inventory management system. The company goes to market through a direct enterprise sales force in the United States, an International Division of distributor partnerships delivering products to over 70 countries, OEM partnership channels, and web-based ordering tools (DOC, DISH) for established customers. Multi-year contracts, including commitments from 34 Premier Inc. member health systems via the DePre joint venture, anchor a portion of revenue.

The company is led by President & CEO Brian DeBusk, with founder Pete DeBusk serving as Chairman. Strategic activity over the past two years has focused on inorganic and partnership-based expansion: the September 2023 DePre, LLC joint venture with Premier Inc. invested $10.3 million to onshore medical isolation gown manufacturing in Powell, Tennessee; the September 2024 SurgiBox partnership (funded by an MTEC grant) advanced portable surgical environment technology for austere environments; and the March 2025 acquisition of Skyline Medical's wall suction waste fluid management assets broadened the surgical portfolio. Vizient recognized DeRoyal with a 2023 Commit Program Excellence Award, and the Tennessee State Senate issued a 50-year business proclamation in 2023.
