Inc. Names 'Most Successful Companies in America'

HOUSTON, Aug. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- US Med-Equip, which partners with top hospitals across the nation to provide rented medical equipment and beds for patients in their care, is again named as one of the nation's fastest-growing private companies in Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 5000 list.

Houston-based US Med-Equip is a healthcare company specializing in the rental, sales, service and asset management of movable medical equipment—diagnostic and clinical devices ranging from infusion pumps to ventilators, baby incubators and more. US Med-Equip has more than 135,000 movable medical devices, beds, and therapeutic support services available for rent at a moment's notice from nearly 100 locations across the country, with more on the way.

Hospitals are streamlining processes and turning to smarter options from trusted partners like US Med-Equip to ensure they provide patients the best care possible. Hospitals count on US Med-Equip's growing team of 700 employees for top medical equipment and the critical technology and services to maintain it. The company is expanding rapidly to meet growing demand nationwide and recently acquired Freedom Medical.

From ventilators to bariatric beds, hospitals place equipment orders from US Med-Equip 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, based on current or anticipated need. The US Med-Equip team works with urgency to deliver the life-saving equipment within a two-hour window plus drive time.

With three-year growth of 250%, USME is appearing on the Inc. 5000 list for the 10th time—an achievement attained by only a small fraction of listed companies.

"Our growing team's commitment to our shared purpose—to support the important work healthcare providers do to help patients heal—is what continues to drive our growth," US Med-Equip CEO Greg Salario said.

Five years after Amazon announced that it would buy supermarket chain Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, a big new change has just taken place -- on September 1, incoming chief executive Jason Buechel is taking over for John Mackey. "As a co-founder of Whole Foods, I've often explained my relationship to the company with a parent-child metaphor," Buechel wrote in a letter announcing his retirement to Whole Foods Staff in September 2021. The transition took nearly a year and, now, former Chief Operating Officer Jason Buechel is stepping in to lead the high-end supermarket chain.

SEOUL/DETROIT (Reuters) -After grabbing the No. 2 spot in the U.S. electric vehicle market with stylish, long-range models, Hyundai Motor and Kia are the automakers with the most to lose from new rules that halt subsidies for EVs made outside North America. These two companies, which make the popular Ioniq 5 and EV6 models, sold more than 39,000 EVs in the United States between January and July – doubling last year's sales and blowing past Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG and General Motors Co. But the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by U.S. President Joe Biden last month excludes Hyundai Motor Co and its affiliate Kia Corp from federal tax credits because they don't yet make EVs in North America, knocking their EV ambitions in the short term at least, a Hyundai official, parts suppliers, analysts and car dealers said.

The Nord Stream 1 pipeline that transports Russian gas to Germany will undergo further maintenance, Gazprom said on Friday after scrapping a Saturday deadline to resume flows, deepening Europe's difficulties in securing fuel. Gazprom was already undergoing maintenance from Aug. 31-Sept. 2, prompting concerns about supply to Europe ahead of the onset of winter if the outage was extended. Russia slashed flows through the pipeline to 40% of capacity in June and to 20% in July.
