When considering


purchasing the business, Atchison completely believed in the product, the team, and the market opportunity. Still, at that time it lacked vision, investment capital, and the necessary


discipline


to reach the next level. Since purchasing Spectrum Aeromed just six-and-a-half years ago, Atchison says the company has doubled its revenue three times.


Even though 80 percent of its business is international, Spectrum Aeromed still sees business abroad as its greatest opportunity. COO Chad Kost points out that as emerging helicopter markets such as China, India, and Latin America adopt helicopter air ambulance as part of their public services, demand will grow for medical interiors and equipment. With sales reps abroad, it has the ability to be active in the eastern world and capture some of that emerging business as it develops. Kost also indicates that the company is heavily focusing on military customers and larger fleet operators.


Many Spectrum products are built custom from the ground up. 46 September 2014
