During this time, DeKroyft-Metz had the opportunity to move just across the
street to 201 N.E. Adams Street, into a
new and bigger building. They did this in 1964. In this location,
DeKroyft-Metz tripled in square footage, featuring a retail store with the
latest in surgical supplies. It had fitting rooms for clients coming in
with needs.
They satisfied customers needing prescriptions filled, and also those who
needed medical supplies. DeKroyft-Metz, under the leadership of Ludwig
Haluska, was always looking to be on the front edge of the medical field.
It also featured deliveries to nursing homes and other medical facilities.
As president, Ludwig Haluska kept the vision of
DeKroyft and Metz, and in 1970, initiated our business to the realm of
hospital supply. This segment of the company expanded and grew under
Ludwig's leadership, and Gary Haluska, Ludwig's son, became its president
and leader in 1979, upon his father's death.
