A well-recognized brand within the healthcare industry, CompuCaddy is a manufacturer of medical computer carts, medical cart workstations, and other complementary products for medical and healthcare facilities.
“We are excited to add the CompuCaddy brand and its suite of high-quality product solutions to our Innovative family,” said IOP CEO Dave Fox. “Their approach to product design and manufacturing, made here in the U.S.A., along with a focus on exceptional customer service, nicely aligns to ours. We see tremendous potential for growth and a unique ability to meet the dynamic work product needs for healthcare and medical professionals.”
Innovative’s Chief Financial Officer Kevin McClelland will assume the dual role of President for the business. Patricia Moore, most recently serving as CompuCaddy’s President, will now serve as General Manager for the business, reporting to McClelland. CompuCaddy Owner Greg Linkins will remain engaged in a consulting role.
All CompuCaddy products designed and manufactured at the company’s Louisville location will maintain operations at that location.
