What Blickman Industries does

Blickman Industries is a privately held US manufacturer of stainless steel medical equipment, founded in 1889 and headquartered at 101 Motivation Drive, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. The company sells to acute care hospitals, surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities, with a product portfolio spanning utility carts, medical and surgical tables, surgical scrub sinks, decontamination stations, solution stands and receptacles, mayo stands, IV poles, medical hampers, surgical utensils, case carts, fluid warming cabinets, bassinets, cabinets and casework, and an MR Conditional line certified for MRI environments. Blickman also distributes Personal Protective Equipment including isolation, surgical, and chemotherapy gowns, N95 respirators, exam gloves, and face shields. Manufacturing is domestic and ISO 9001:2015 certified, and the company highlights proprietary elements such as Quiet Care TPE casters, Tru-Loc height adjustment, hands-free scrub sink controls, and MR Conditional product certification as differentiating features.

The company's commercial model is sales-led and quote-based, with no public list pricing. It reaches customers through a US regional sales representative and authorized dealer network, complemented by direct inquiries via its website, email ([email protected]), and a toll-free number. The firm supports specification workflows with PDF catalogs and a REVIT file library, and runs top-of-funnel content including a YouTube product channel, a blog, and FAQ resources. Distribution is exclusively within the United States. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales, with PPE functioning as an adjacent consumables stream; 2024 saw the launch of Over The Road Case Carts and a next-generation touchscreen display for warming cabinets, indicating continued product investment within the existing franchise rather than a platform pivot.
