Graham-Field acquires Transfer Master Products

ATLANTA – GF Health Products has acquired substantially all of the assets of Transfer Master Products, a manufacturer of hi-low adjustable beds for more than 30 years.  

"We are excited about combining TMP with Graham-Field to maximize our manufacturing and marketing opportunities within the rehabilitation and homecare markets,” said Kurt Helman, senior vice president and general manager of Graham-Field’s Wisconsin manufacturing facility. “This acquisition will allow Graham-Field to expand its bed and sleep support systems offerings beyond our industry leading brands.”  

TMP’s Iowa manufacturing and distribution facility will relocate to Graham-Field’s 20-acre Fond du Lac, Wis., steel fabrication complex, with capacity to manufacture more than 20,000 beds annually. 

Graham-Field’s investments in manufacturing automation, process improvement and engineering expertise will allow it to build on the 30-year heritage of TMP and enhance the features and capabilities of the patented Supernal Sleep Systems.  

"TMP has a thirty-year reputation for providing customers with the quality healthcare products they demand and the value they deserve,” said Shmuly Goldsmith, vice president of business development, TMP. “Product innovation and dedication to customer service will continue without interruption. We will utilize our combined market driven engineering and manufacturing resources to better serve our customer base and to develop new product offerings."  

The acquisition is Graham-Field’s fourth of a manufacturing facility in 12 years, says CEO Ken Spett.  

"(It) is well-aligned with our growth strategies,” he said. “It diversifies our product offerings and supports our objective to be a preferred global provider of healthcare equipment." 

Graham-Field’s brands include Basic American, Patriot and Lumex.
