A Manufacturing Legacy
Starting in 1929, the Quinn family has a long history of manufacturing, beginning in the automotive industry. Then, in 1985, Brad and Jeff Quinn launched new venture, Engineered Medical Systems, from a small basement in Indianapolis. The company quickly grew to become a large OEM Manufacturer, working with dozens of companies across the industry. In the late 1990's, the company eventually became the largest US manufacturer of BVM resuscitators.
In 2005, EMS launched their own line of branded products under the Pulmodyne label. Since then, the company has grown from a single, airway product line manufactured in Indianapolis, to a large portfolio of Hospital and Emergency Medical products. Further, the company as expanded to now include manufacturing facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Penang, Malaysia.
Since the launch of Pulmodyne, Brad and Jeff have led the company through a sustained period of growth, highlighted by the launch of multiple Disposable CPAP systems, and the launch of the premier emergency cricothyrotomy system available, the Control-Cric. Additionally, the company has enjoyed growth of nearly 600% under their leadership.
Moving forward, Brad and Jeff will remain on as Co-Chairmen of the Quinn Group.
