Replacement Parts Industries

What Replacement Parts Industries does

Replacement Parts Industries, Inc. (RPI) is a 50+ year old (founded 1972, Simi Valley, California) designer, manufacturer, and distributor of quality replacement parts for hospital, medical, dental, and laboratory equipment. The company reverse-engineers, designs, manufactures, or directly sources parts to meet or exceed OEM specifications across a broad catalog covering sterilizers and autoclaves (Tuttnauer, Midmark-Ritter, STERIS, Getinge/Castle, STERRAD, Medivators), dental equipment (A-dec, Pelton & Crane, DENTSPLY Cavitron, dental compressors and vacuum units), exam tables and chairs, ventilators, infant incubators and warmers, ECG/EKG/EEG machines, electrosurgical units, centrifuges, and patient cables and leadwires. Notable proprietary products include the WATER-MIZER water-saving and tempering device for steam sterilizers and an expanding line of Planned Maintenance (PM) Kits that bundle components for routine service intervals.

RPI operates exclusively through a channel-partner model, selling to a network of service companies, distributors, and independent technicians rather than directly to end-user doctors, dentists, veterinarians, or tattoo shops. Direct ordering is supported via phone, fax, email, and a logged-in online account portal, with international customers pre-paying in U.S. dollars and same-day shipping for orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The company is ISO 9001 certified (valid through 2028), holds FDA 510(k) registrations for heating elements, skin temperature probes, and phototherapy lamps (Registration #1000617661), is registered in the U.S. Government System for Award Management (NSN #9S51901) for federal and military sales, and holds at least one patent (Catalytic Converter). A longstanding online Technical Resource Center — troubleshooting guides, exploded views, installation instructions, service tips, cross-reference tables, and the multi-decade "The Alternate Source" newsletter — supports customers and reinforces the catalog as a switching-cost moat.

Since September 2021, RPI has been a portfolio company of Roundtable Healthcare Partners, operating as part of the Healthcare Components Group (HCG) alongside American Optics (endoscope replacement parts). The company is privately held, employs 501-1,000 people, and has not publicly disclosed revenue. Founder Al and Sherry Lapides led the firm from 1972 until Ira Lapides assumed the presidency (serving 27 years) and retired effective December 31, 2022. Headcount range and steady product-launch cadence indicate a mature, stable niche industrial business with PE-backed potential for further platform expansion.
