The American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI) and Medic First Aid International are working together now that both companies have been acquired by The Riverside Company. The two nationally-recognized companies are working in tandem to serve the needs of the entire health and safety training certification market. Medic First Aid’s focus on business and corporate CPR/AED/first aid training complements ASHI’s focus on EMS, fire, and other private markets. Both companies are managed by a joint executive team and have offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Eugene, Oregon.
“Our current customers can continue to expect value pricing, high quality and flexible training programs,” said Bill Clendenen, co-CEO of Medic First Aid. “It’s business as usual, combined with the ability to enhance customer service and expand our reach. We are delighted that Riverside has decided to invest its expertise and resources in our organization and we look forward to working with ASHI to the benefit of all of our customers.”
“Having the opportunity to work with Medic First Aid will enhance the ever-growing benefits offered to the ASHI membership and to the students they educate,” said Frank Swiger, president of the American Safety and Health Institute. “Together with Medic, and coupled with the backing of a solid organization in Riverside, we will not only make a significant impact in the market but really create a world-class organization that will raise the bar on excellence industry-wide.”
The Riverside Company is the largest private equity firm specializing in investments at the smaller end of the middle market. The recent acquisition of ASHI and Medic First Aid will benefit both corporate and independent clients in a variety of ways, which include more choices in training, programs, and products.
ASHI and Medic First Aid are worldwide innovators and leaders in emergency care training programs for business, industry, and the general public. Together, we make learning to save lives easy.
