Our History

From Humble Beginnings in 1992...

The Device Technologies story began between four close friends with a united vision – to make a difference in the medical technology and supplies arena.

With big dreams, and extensive experience in their respective fields, it was to be their greatest challenge, but the foursome was determined to make it a success. With their wives playing instrumental roles in the company’s early days, it was unanimously voted that Peter Ord would fill the role of CEO and that Kevin Ryan, Bill Walker and John McQuillan would combine to create the small yet highly experienced sales force.

Over 30 years and Device Technologies has grown into one of the leading medical supply companies in the healthcare sector - with over 200 trusted brands and 1000 highly skilled staff across Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
