MED+ Medical Equipment Distribution

What MED+ Medical Equipment Distribution does

MED+ Medical Equipment Distribution Inc. is a privately held Canadian home health care and medical equipment distributor founded in 1995 and headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area (Ontario). The company distributes a wide catalogue of mobility and accessibility products — manual and power wheelchairs, hospital and home care beds, therapeutic mattresses, stairlifts, through-floor elevators, wheelchair lifts, ramps, walkers and rollators, scooters, canes and crutches, lift chairs, patient and ceiling lifts, bathroom safety equipment, commodes, incontinence supplies, and wheelchair seating systems — sourced from brands such as Motion Composites, Quickie, TiLite, ROHO, Jay, Drive Medical, and Dolomite. Beyond product distribution, MED+ offers equipment rental, repair and service, and design-and-installation home modification services (stairlifts, bathroom renovations, vertical platform lifts, accessibility ramps), delivered through its Toronto head office showroom plus a second GTA location in Mississauga and a fleet offering overnight delivery and on-site installation.

The company serves a hybrid customer base combining direct-to-consumer individuals and caregivers (seniors, post-surgical and injury recovery patients, people with disabilities needing aging-in-place solutions) with a dedicated B2B corporate program for Long Term Care Homes, Retirement Homes, nursing homes, and group homes, where it operates on an alliance-based procurement model. Distribution is conducted via two GTA showrooms, direct home delivery with professional installation, overnight fulfilment, and inside-the-home placement "to the exact floor and location requested," with auxiliary revenue from short- and long-term rentals and custom home modifications.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across one-time equipment sales, usage-based rentals, and project-based professional services, with quote-based pricing throughout (no publicly disclosed rates). Marketing and brand-building rely on an educational blog covering aging-in-place topics, a flagship partnership with Mike Holmes / Holmes on Homes: Building a Legacy providing national media visibility, and a long-standing 25+ year operating history. The company is owner-operated, with no disclosed external equity funding or active acquisition activity, and its operating geography is restricted to the Greater Toronto Area market.

Others

• Motion Composites: Manufacturer of lightweight manual wheelchairs (including the A7 model carried by MED+) — adjacent as an upstream supplier whose direct-to-consumer strategy would represent disintermediation risk for distributors like MED+.
