MERGES WITH SPORTS HEALTH: NOW ONE OF THE LARGEST PROVIDERS OF SPORTS MEDICAL SUPPLIES
HANOVER, PARK, Ill.--Econoline Products, Inc., the nation's number one supplier of sports medicine foam and felt products, has merged with Sports Health, a division of School Health Corporation, the largest provider of medical equipment and supplies in the school health industry. "With this merger, athletic trainers and other customers worldwide will now have greater support, and can rely on a full-service, one-stop source for all their sports medicine supplies," said John Miller, president of Sports Health/Econoline. "This merger benefits everyone in the sports health industry," says Peter Hovorka, Sports Health's national sales manager. "Both Econoline and Sports Health adhere to the same philosophy of high operating standards, quality products and solid customer relationships. Together, we can successfully fulfill the needs of the sports medicine market." The Sports Health/Econoline division will be headquartered in Hanover Park, Ill., but a new facility under construction in Charlotte, N.C., will open this summer. The new facility will enable the company to quickly reach many of its customers located on the Eastern Seaboard and in the South. "Customers can expect the same superb service, a broader product line and efficient delivery," noted Miller. "Distributors can now avail themselves to world-class resources, and manufacturers can expect a more efficient, consolidated distribution system." School Health Corporation is the parent company for Sports Health/Econoline. Founded in 1950, School Health achieved success in the industry by focusing on the needs of its customers and by broadening its product line to include a wide variety of medical supplies. Located in Hanover Park, Ill., School Health Corporation has a 50,000-square-foot, brick and mortar facility well equipped to fulfill orders made through its Web site, healthgiant.com, and through its printed catalogs.
