SME: A Legacy of Innovation, Care, and Community

At SME, our story is more than just a business narrative - it's a testament to the power of dreams, dedication, and the difference one company can make in people's lives. Founded on the principles of innovation, care, and community, we've grown from a small family venture into a beacon of hope and support in the physical therapy industry.

The Genesis of a Vision

"Our journey began with a simple aspiration - to run my own business, inspired by the legacy of my father. This deep-rooted desire to create something meaningful propelled SME into existence." - David Rouen Jr., CEO/Director

From the outset, our focus has been on creating products that not only excel in quality but also offer quick and effective solutions for patients. "I never get tired of hearing how patients are able to get better quickly by using our products." This patient-first approach has been a cornerstone of our philosophy, driving us to continually innovate and improve.


Cultivating a Culture of Creativity and Care

At SME, Inc. USA, we believe that our strength lies in our people. "SME really is a family setting which is nice. The decisions made here are thought about on a personal and professional level, and you don't really get that with most work places. That personal connection translates to our clients, which in turn makes them feel more 'at home' with how we work," says Josh White. It's this ethos of mutual respect and care that has fostered a culture of creativity and collaboration. Our 'think tank' approach allows every team member to voice their ideas and contribute to our collective success.

"Our culture is family-oriented. We take pride in knowing about the personal lives of our employees, not just their professional contributions." - Tiffany Gardiner

Empowerment and Trust: The Heartbeat of SME

Jason Earp speaks to our culture of empowerment, "We put people in the right spot to do the right thing and we trust them." It's this belief in our team that fuels our innovative spirit and drives us towards excellence.

A Legacy of Relationships and Future Growth

"Our story is one of building relationships that matter," Chip Murphy reflects.

We cherish our connections with clients, seeing each interaction as an opportunity to strengthen bonds and deliver unmatched service.

Looking ahead, we're excited about the path that lies before us. "I'm really looking towards the future," says David Rouen Jr., as we continue to grow, expand, and innovate, while staying true to our core values of quality, care, and community.

"I think we're going to continue to grow and expand and I can only see us going up." - Tiffany Gardiner
