Merits Health Products USA and Hoveround Mobility Solutions (HMS) have announced a strategic business partnership that will impact a number of the companies’ operational processes.
In an Aug. 1 press release, Hoveround said the new partnership would “enhance manufacturing efficiency, optimize supply chain operations, and expand product offerings. This collaboration enables HMS to strengthen its commitment to delivering high-quality mobility solutions while ensuring a seamless customer experience.”
Hoveround would be “improving efficiency, increasing scalability, and expanding its product portfolio” by partnering with Merits, the press release added. Merits “will assist with storage and shipping parts for HMS’s flagship MPV5 power chair, improving delivery times and service responsiveness.
