Our Founder
Ken Anderson was a native of Chicago, IL, where he attended Northwestern University. An entrepreneur in the manufacturing and selling of medical devices, Ken owned a Respiratory Therapy business in Kansas City prior to relocating to Springfield, Missouri. It was there he met his wife Paulette and started Tech-Medical Services in 1989 and TMS Sterilization in 2012. Tech-Medical is the company it is today because of the relationships Ken built with the distributors, manufacturers, and colleagues he worked with. Ken is remembered for the contributions he made to the medical community and the lives of all he touched.
