National Seating & Mobility (NSM) has added nearly 200 professionals to its roster in acquiring Hudson Seating & Mobility.
The acquisition means nine new branch offices for NSM, as well as 26 ATPs. A news announcement noted the former Hudson locations “serve the region from six Northeast states, all situated along the I-95 corridor.”
NSM listed its new locations as Newington, Conn.; Pomfret Center, Conn.; Chicopee, Mass.; Woburn, Mass.; Franklin, Mass.; Hudson, N.H.; Fairfield, N.J.; Plainview, N.Y.; and Warwick, R.I.
“Hudson is a great company with great people and has always been a quality operator across the region,” said NSM CEO Mike Ballard in making the announcement. “As an industry leader for more than 30 years, they are a perfect complement to our mission of being the best possible complex rehab provider.”
In addition to providing seating & mobility equipment, Hudson had an accessibility division that sold door-opening systems, stairlifts, wheelchair ramps and lifts, vehicle lifts and bath safety equipment.
Hudson also provided general DME such as hospital beds, support surfaces, lift chairs, patient lifts and standing & walking aids.
Shirley Curley, co-owner of Hudson, said of the acquisition deal, “We feel very much aligned with NSM’s culture. NSM has always placed a high value on its people, processes and client care, just as we have. Together, Hudson and NSM are a great fit.”
Hudson President Robert Curley referenced “opportunities for increased scale, efficiencies and industry-best technology solutions,” noting, “We’ve been talking with Mike Ballard for several months. The timing was right to join this outstanding company.”
