Denton, TX, Helps Get Companies on Their Feet

Many companies have chosen Denton, Texas, as their home base because of its reputation as a place where businesses can get up and running easily with support from the community. The business-friendly climate, highly educated talent pool available, three universities, and geographically centralized location are all contributing factors. One of these notable companies is an innovator in devices for getting people back on their feet.

That company, ManaMed, is a global leader that designs, develops, and distributes orthopedic solutions that keep active, high-performing people in the game and back on track following injury or surgery. Since its inception in 2015, the company has established nine patents (10-15 currently pending), processed over 67,000 orders, and serviced over 1,400 customers.

Innovation that Restores Quality of Life to Patients

The company’s mandate is to get “Recovery Activated.” By combining the latest medical technology with experienced physicians and personalized care, ManaMed equips clinicians with the tools to help their patients achieve the best outcomes. The company is committed to assisting patients to return to their daily routines following orthopedic injuries or surgeries.

ManaMed’s extensive product catalog spans:

• Vascular and electrotherapies
• Assisted mobility
• Electrical stimulation
• DVT (deep vein thrombosis) products which help prevent blood clots

ManaMed products help with:

• Vascular Therapy
• Post-surgical needs

• Lower Extremities
• Spine
• Mobility Aids

Lady Luck had Nothing to Do with It

ManaMed started as a California-based business but moved to Nevada before choosing to expand to Denton in 2020. Having renovated its Denton location last year, Founder and CEO Trevor Theriot noted that Denton was the perfect location for its second office. He cited “the business-friendly attitude of Texas and the spirited community of Denton as an incentive to expand to Denton.” He also pointed out Denton’s location and higher education base as a further justification for the move. “You’ve got three great universities here and a great student pool. We have a large facility and warehouse, with plenty of room to grow, and Texas, being so central, allows us to expand to the East Coast and all through the central states because ship times are a lot lower.”

Making a Dent in Denton

Many other successful companies have moved to Denton because of its advantages, including Peterbilt Motors Company, Jostens, Southwire/United Copper Industries, Acme Brick, ESAB/Victor Technologies, and Tetra Pak.

While Denton has all the advantages of being within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex - the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country and the 11th-largest in the Americas -- it’s also distinct because of its arts and culture, university partnerships and 100% renewable energy grid. Denton is also the 25th fastest-growing city, with a population of over 70,000.

The city’s population has grown by 25% since 2010, and many businesses, including ManaMed, have chosen to invest here. Denton makes that decision easy because it connects companies to vast resources, partners, and opportunities. The geographical location of Denton, at the convergence of I-35 East and West in the DFW Metroplex, offers nationwide access via road, rail, and air. 

Denton is also a creative city with its multiple universities. As such, it provides tremendous economic opportunity and is a hub for the arts, entrepreneurship, and research. The city is known for its active music scene, including the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo, Denton Arts and Jazz Festival, and Thin Line Fest.

A Partnership to Promote Progress

To remain competitive and help the city keep up with the ever-changing business environment, the Denton Economic Development Partnership develops partnerships and engages in strategic marketing efforts. Stakeholders from diverse industries provide support as they have a critical interest in Denton’s business and workforce development. Jamie Adams, Denton Economic Development’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, says, “ManaMed made Denton its home for a reason, and with our help, your business can too.”
