We are not recommending that Ohmeda discontinue relationships with all dealers. We recommend that Ohmeda should keep some dealers to operate in the low technology suction market. This is a $24M market and we have a 60% market share. This $14.3M in sales represents 15% of our 1985 medical equipment sales. We project this to grow 3.27% per year.

Over the past few years, a competing company focused on price has made some in-roads in this market and Ohmeda fears that terminating the dealers will harm this segment. Given that this is a price sensitive, low technology market we think the dealer network will be able to help fend off the competitor. History has proven this to be the case.

CMI eventually decided to sign manufacturing reps who sold their pads to various distributors and supply houses.

Their 9% market share vs. Makita’s 50% market share in the tradesmen segment was incomparable. Makita clearly had a better product in the eyes of the Professional Tradesmen. In the Professional Segment most of the people who buy the products are people who need these tools to make a living such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, and general remodelers.
