DME HOLDINGS — IN A FULL COURT PRESS

Panaggio concedes that it costs a little more to run a business the DME way, but says there’s a real payoff in productivity and enthusiasm. “We want to be known as THE best place to work,” he notes.

Wise adds that it’s important to hire people who are really driven, “because we are always pushing the envelope, if you’ll pardon the pun. Being flexible and adaptable is the name of the game in this business. We will train good employees to become anything they desire, as long as they have the drive and ambition—along with the aptitude, of course.”
