Orise Distribution, a startup wholesale distributor of medical supplies, said it will expand in St. Louis, investing $6.2 million and creating 40 new jobs. The company’s expansion includes the addition of more than 5,000 square feet of space to its existing facility.
“It’s always exciting to see Missouri-made businesses like Orise Distribution growing and creating jobs,” said Governor Mike Kehoe. “Investments like these show that our state truly excels at supporting innovators of all sizes. We appreciate this company’s commitment to the St. Louis region and look forward to its future success.”
Orise specializes in the procurement, storage, and distribution of long-term medical equipment and supplies such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, and mobility aids to various healthcare providers, institutions, and individual patients. The company is working to implement an AI-powered medical supply chain with plans to enter pharmaceutical distribution by 2026.
For this expansion, Orise Distribution will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
