Dallas-based Leap Distributors announced it has acquired Leap Surgical and DUB Enterprises, two privately owned and nationally recognized medical device firms.
Leap said the three companies will immediately operate as one under the Leap Distributors umbrella, with headquarters in Dallas, additional offices in Houston, and a national customer base.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We’re thrilled to unite the strengths of DUB Enterprises and Leap Surgical into a single, powerful entity,” Allen Mason, CEO of Leap Distributors and co-founder of Leap Surgical, said in a statement. “This acquisition enables us to provide top-tier service and access to high-quality medical devices to hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide.”
Leap said that integrating the resources of Leap Surgical and DUB Enterprises will enable Leap Distributors to offer an expanded range of products, enhancing its ability to meet the needs of patients, surgeons, independent distributors and healthcare facilities.
The company said it remains committed to delivering superior medical devices, while streamlining the distribution process through cutting-edge technology and a customer-first approach.
Mason said the acquisition provides significant benefits to employees, distributors and manufacturer partners—including access to a large, well-established network, streamlined contracting processes, an advanced IT infrastructure, and dedicated customer support to help navigate the complexities of medical device distribution.
“Our goal is to empower independent distributors with the resources and support needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive industry,” Peyton Woodyard, partner at Leap Distributors and co-founder of DUB Enterprises, said in a statement. “In addition, it positions Leap Distributors for rapid growth and creates opportunities for additional distributors to join and benefit from a robust and like-minded network. It represents a major advancement in the medical device distribution landscape, equipping Leap Distributors to innovate, adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving industry.”
