The Harloff Company

What The Harloff Company does

The Harloff Company designs, engineers, and manufactures medical storage carts, cabinets, and specialty mobility products from a single 650 Ford Street facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company was founded in 1951 by Norman Harloff (initially in hotel service carts) and entered the healthcare market in 1987, introducing ball-bearing drawer slides and modular drawer configurations that became industry standards. Its product portfolio spans 690+ SKUs organized around four core platforms: (1) SureDry scope drying cabinets with positive-pressure HEPA filtration, Dri-Scope Aid internal lumen drying, and the new Tracker smart cabinet with touchscreen scope management; (2) MedStor Max modular-tray storage cabinets claiming up to 30% more capacity than competing systems; (3) M-Series steel and A-Series aluminum medical carts with modular heights, widths, and locking options; and (4) specialty carts spanning anesthesia, crash/emergency, isolation/infection control, treatment/procedure, medication, narcotics, MRI-conditional, malignant hyperthermia, pediatric, intraocular lens, phlebotomy, ENT/bronchoscope, and dilator carts, plus 200+ accessories. Underlying technology combines steel and aluminum fabrication, multi-tier locking systems (mechanical through wireless electronic with audit trail), MR-Conditional construction, and proprietary drying architectures that meet ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021, AORN, and SGNA guidelines.

Harloff generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales via three channels: (1) an extensive network of 30+ US healthcare distributors (McKesson, Henry Schein, Cardinal Health, Medline, Owens & Minor, Direct Supply, AliMed and others) plus independent sales representatives; (2) direct federal procurement through GSA Federal Supply Schedule Contract #36F79722D0067 (Schedule 65 II A, valid March 2022–March 2027) covering VA Medical Centers, military, and Indian Health facilities; and (3) international distributors across Canada and other markets. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; standard terms are Net 30 with credit-card/ACH/wire acceptance. The Quick Ship program (5-business-day fulfillment) and Overstock discount channel provide modest incremental volume. The company is GSA-classified as a small business and, at the time of acquisition, employed 101-250 staff. On June 9, 2026, Harloff was acquired by Capsa Healthcare, integrating its cart, cabinet, and storage portfolio into Capsa's clinical workflow solutions platform while continuing operations out of Colorado Springs.
