Drive Medical announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire Compass Health Brands
Mobility and healthcare equipment supplier Drive Medical has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Compass Health Brands, a diversified supplier of branded and private label consumer medical products.
The acquisition further strengthens Drive Medical’s product portfolio and expands its ability to serve retailers, consumers, and healthcare providers with high-quality, innovative solutions across the continuum of care. Compass brings a complementary mix of branded and private label offerings, strong customer relationships, and proven capabilities that align closely with Drive Medical’s long-term growth strategy.
Derek Lampert, Chief Executive Officer of New York-based Drive Medical, commented: “This acquisition represents an important step forward for Drive Medical as we continue to broaden our range of offerings, allowing customers to access a more comprehensive portfolio through a single trusted partner.”
Compass has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and customer focus within the consumer medical products market. Its products include rollators, walkers and wheelchairs. The company’s product assortment is expected to enhance Drive Medical’s existing offerings and support continued expansion across retail and e-commerce channels.
“Compass has always focused on creating meaningful brands and products that improve everyday care for people,” said Stuart Straus, Chief Executive Officer of Compass. “Joining Drive provides the investment, infrastructure, and global reach needed to accelerate innovation and scale our solutions far beyond what we could achieve independently. Most importantly, I want to thank the Compass team whose commitment, resilience, and customer focus built the foundation that made this next chapter possible.”
Following the transaction, Compass will operate as a division of Drive Medical to maintain continuity for customers, suppliers, and employees, followed by a phased integration into the broader organization.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
In December 2025, Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare announced that it is returning to its original Drive Medical brand across all markets.
