Our History
Helms Enterprises, Inc. grew from a Hendersonville-based supplier into a nationwide distributor of surgical, diagnostic, dental, and hospital equipment—always focused on reliable, compliant delivery.
Built on clinical reliability since 1991
We started with a small portfolio of surgical instruments, serving hospitals and surgery centers across North Carolina. By integrating logistics discipline, product expertise, and quality assurance, we steadily expanded into diagnostics, dental equipment, wound care, hospital systems, and durable medical equipment.
Our growth has always centered on one commitment: to deliver patient-ready supplies with predictable timelines and complete documentation for every order.
