About Us - The History of Banyan
       
Banyan International Corporation was founded in 1972 by two surgeons in Abilene, Texas, and a business man from San Antonio, Texas. Banyan's primary goal was to provide life-saving emergency equipment to physicians and dentists in a compact, organized, easy-to-use format. The first emergency kit produced by Banyan International Corporation was sold in 1973. Since that time approximately 100,000 physicians and dentists have gained access to Banyan emergency kits, and more than 2,800 medical supply dealers carry the Stat Kit product line.

 

As a result of advances in both technology and emergency procedures, Banyan's kit has evolved into the current line of Stat Kit models 700 and 900. Containing a foam tray that snugly cushions your drugs, these kits also allow you the option of including additional ACLS drugs to make your Banyan Stat Kit the most comprehensive kit ever offered.

While Banyan International Corporation has always tried to be organizationally efficient and technologically current, our primary goal has always been to be customer service oriented. Many changes that have occurred through the evolution of the Stat Kit have been a direct result of suggestions by Banyan customers - and we constantly solicit suggestions from customers on how our Stat Kits can be improved. Banyan is currently working with the airline industry in an attempt to update and improve the quality of emergency medical equipment on both domestic and foreign flights. Top domestic carriers - including American, United, American Eagle and Frontier - have the Stat Kit 700 as the enhanced medical kit for their entire fleet.

In addition to selling physicians and dentists the Stat Kit, Banyan also provides replacement items as the components of the kits are used or expire. In a program introduced in January 1998, Banyan makes maintenance even easier. The AutoUpdate program guarantees annual replacement of all items with expiration dates -- for a low yearly fee.

Banyan International Corporation's goal from inception to present has been to provide top-quality emergency products to the medical community, and provide world class service to our customers.

All because our business is saving lives.
