Company Showcase: BC Group

Medical Dealer: Tell us a little about your company.

Roche: BC Group is in the biomedical test equipment business. We are a vertically integrated organization providing design, manufacturing, distribution, sales, service and support for a wide range of biomedical test equipment. Our “one-stop biomed shop” theme sums up our business: to provide in one location all of the equipment, tools and supplies that the biomed community needs. We not only offer an extensive listing of test equipment manufactured by us and our many partners, but we also provide labels, cables and everything in between.

BC Group, under the “BC Biomedical” brand, is one of the largest manufacturers of biomedical test and measurement equipment. Our in-house R&D and engineering allows us to refine existing products and develop new, innovative products for an ever-changing industry. Our relationships with major OEMs provide us with significant input to our continuing R&D efforts.

BC Group, under  “BC Market Place,” is one of the largest distributors of biomedical test equipment, tools and supplies, offering more than 80 product lines and thousands of products. We provide numerous brands, along with all of the necessary support tools, accessories and hardware so our customers can cut a single PO and save time.

BC Group, under “BC Service,” is one of the largest domestic service and support operations for biomedical test equipment. Through our in-house service center we offer service for our equipment and almost every brand. We offer calibration services both in our depot and on-site.

BC Group, under  “BCeTEAMS”, operates calibration exchange programs and extensive asset management services for customers both large and small. We are proud to be partners with some of the largest ISOs in the industry, providing equipment sales, calibration and asset tracking for their fleets of test equipment.

BC Group’s many elements are all focused on the central theme of providing our customers with what they need, when they need it, at a fair price and at the highest quality.

BC Group has a major commitment to quality. The entire company is ISO 9001:2008 registered. Our Service Center is compliant with both ANSI Z540 and ISO 17025 with full traceability to NIST. We are registered with and inspected by the FDA and follow the good manufacturing practices (GMP) as well as comply with the QSR (quality systems regulation) 21CFR820.

BC Group is fortunate to have a wide base of customers from the entire spectrum of the test equipment market. We deal with individuals, hospitals, hospital groups, ISOs, government, military and OEMs, both domestically and internationally.

We sell both directly and through an expanding international dealer network, with CE on almost the entire BC Biomedical product line.

While our expanding presence in the world market place is going well, we are very proud to say that all of our manufacturing is done in the U.S.


Medical Dealer: What has made BC Group Successful and what will carry it into the future?


Roche: Our success is based on listening to our customers and then doing something about what they tell us. If that means designing a new piece of test equipment or adding a new line to our product offering, that’s what we do.

Everything about our business is centered on this simple idea. We have a lot of smart people, but it’s the fact that we understand that our job is not to dictate what is required, but to listen and respond that makes everything work.

We make products in families because that’s what our customers tell us they want. We have the best ESU analyzer in the world, but we also have four other models that meet other less demanding needs. We make five models of Safety Analyzers plus multiple international versions. We will continue to follow this concept in everything that we do.


Medical Dealer: What makes BC Group unique?


Roche: BC Group has a philosophy concerning our products that runs counter to the trend of "one-size-fits-all." Product families provide users with a choice of models so they can pick the features they need and at a price they can afford. Our customers’ comments are a key part of our future products and services.

We are a privately held company. We can make decisions regarding business that make sense to us, and we are not hampered by short-term profitability requirements that impact many large companies. We are free to take the business and the product lines in a direction that make sense to us and will help our customers. Our size seems to be just right for this industry. We are small enough to be able to move fast and large enough to have the resources to respond.
