30 Years In The Making: Himed Gets Its Own Mailing Address
You know that saying, “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Well, what if something isn’t necessarily broken but could be made better with a few simple changes? That’s exactly the way we saw our address system.
Himed was founded 30 years ago within the facilities of an aerospace coating provider called Hitemco. We’ve since expanded into our own nearby facilities and our business has grown to become a leader in the biomaterials industry.
Yet, through all these years, we’ve been using Hitemco’s shipping and receiving. That setup certainly wasn't broken but we realized we could streamline the process by implementing our own address.
Answering the Calls: 30 Years of Himed History
As President of Himed, Ed Garofalo oversees a business that’s now a leading global provider of cutting-edge biomaterials and surface treatments for the dental and orthopedic industries. Yet thirty years ago, if you went looking for Ed, you’d find him working with metal coatings for engine turbines at a family-owned business in New York called Hitemco.
Of course, engine turbine parts and a hip implant don’t have much in common on paper, but it’s safe to say that the finish on both had better be unquestionably precise before they’re put to use.
