What UMF Medical does

UMF Medical (legal entity United Metal Fabricators, Inc.) is a privately held, family-owned U.S. manufacturer of medical exam-room equipment, founded in 1955 and headquartered in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where it produces its full product line domestically. The company designs and builds power exam tables, power procedure chairs, manual exam and treatment tables, blood draw chairs, pediatric tables, stainless-steel casework, narcotic lockers, physician seating, and a line of accessories centered on ADA accessibility and infection prevention. Its core engineering differentiators are the patented OneTouch WheelBase foot-activated wheel system, the OneTouch Patient Positioning system, ADA-compliant TruComfort and TruComfort+ Support Rails, and PreFixx Protective Finish seamless upholstery; flagship products include the ProGlide series, FusionONE/FusionONE+, FusionFREEDOM (17-inch seat height, launched April 2025), and LibertyPRO (650 lb capacity, launched August 2025).

The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales with 3-to-5-year warranties and optional extended service, supplemented by separately billed freight, white-glove delivery, installation, and old-equipment removal. In 2024 it added interior-design and project-management services, generating professional-services revenue and deepening account penetration. Pricing is custom quote-based with no public list pricing; purchasing is conducted via a nationwide authorized distributor network, Group Purchasing Organization contracts (notably Vizient, covering 65%+ of U.S. acute care providers), and direct channels for U.S. federal customers through GSA Schedule 36F79719D0069 and an SDVOSB partnership with Altamira. End customers include hospitals and health systems, physician offices and clinics, rehabilitation facilities, pediatric programs, and federal agencies, with the company self-reporting a global/worldwide market footprint while concentrating manufacturing in Pennsylvania.

UMF Medical is a WBENC-certified Women's Business Enterprise and an SBA-recognized Exporter of the Year, and it has pursued diversity and set-aside procurement channels (SDVOSB, WOSB) as deliberate competitive levers. In January 2026 Dan Cheever, formerly Hillrom Area Vice President and UMF's VP of Sales & Marketing since 2021, was appointed President and CEO, succeeding Eileen Melvin. Revenue, funding, and ownership structure beyond the Romano family are not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Hillrom (Baxter): Hillrom, now part of Baxter, is a broad incumbent in hospital and exam-room equipment with substantially greater scale than UMF Medical; UMF Medical's new CEO Dan Cheever came from Hillrom, underscoring the overlap in products, channels, and customer segments.
