Medline NONDB4080 Disposable Emergency Blanket, 40-Inch X 80-Inch, Gray (Pack of 10)

Back in 1910, A.L. Mills founded Northwest Garment Factory and began making aprons for workers in the Chicago stockyards. Soon his aprons found their way to a group of nuns who were doing double duty as seamstresses at a nearby hospital. The nuns asked A.L if he could make hospital garments – surgeons’ gowns and nursing uniforms – so they could stop sewing and spend more time caring for patients. He said yes and the business was transformed.

Almost two decades later, A.L.’s son, Irving, took over. When World War II broke out, he added general medical supplies to his garment offerings, and the business transformed again, becoming Mills Hospital Supply Company.

Today, Medline Industries, LP. is a fourth generation, family-owned company and the largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies in the US. And, we’re still happily headquartered in the Chicagoland area.
