Our services will forever change the way the healthcare industry views the useful life of medical equipment and recycling of their waste."
Of the location in Lake Orion, Mills, a Michigan native, said: "I believe this is an important step towards bringing manufacturing and strategic engineering back to Michigan and the United States."
Added Patterson: "This is another great win for Medical Main Street ... We stand ready to help them continue their growth nationally."
