RPS Imaging

What RPS Imaging does

RPS Imaging is a privately-held regional distributor and service provider of medical imaging equipment, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana. The company distributes and services a broad portfolio spanning digital radiography (DR), X-ray systems, ultrasound, R/F systems, PACS, and veterinary imaging solutions from manufacturer partners including Samsung Healthcare, Del Medical, Summit Industries, Koning, Agfa, and several veterinary OEMs. Its offering covers new and refurbished equipment (including CT and MRI), accessories, and a HIPAA-compliant X-ray film recycling program. The company maintains a separate service arm staffed by factory-trained engineers that handles installation, scheduled maintenance, emergency 24/7 repair, and multi-year service contracts for equipment across multiple manufacturers.

The company's business model combines transactional hardware sales with recurring managed-services revenue. Equipment sales are quote-based and sourced through vendor partner channels, while service contracts — offered as full-service, parts-only, labor-only, preventative maintenance, prepaid, or time-and-materials arrangements — generate multi-year recurring revenue and create customer stickiness. The environmental film recycling program generates ancillary revenue through silver recovery and provides a HIPAA-compliant disposal pathway for healthcare facilities. RPS Imaging operates primarily across the Great Lakes Region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin) via a direct enterprise field sales model with territory-based sales representatives, and participates in the national Vision Imaging Partners dealer network (56-63 members) and holds a shareholder stake in National Healthcare Distributors.

RPS Imaging serves four primary customer segments: hospitals and medical imaging centers (primary), veterinary practices (primary), chiropractic practices, and radiology education programs. Its competitive positioning rests on 47+ years of regional presence, cross-vendor factory-trained service expertise, a one-stop-shop offering from accessories through service, and vendor partnerships with established OEMs. The company has no external funding, operates as a profitable independent business, and is led by President David Price.
