Our Story
A veteran-founded company built on service, integrity, and a commitment to those who protect our nation.
Founded by Veterans, Built for Service
Gladden & Metz, Inc. was established in 2007 in Bryant, Arkansas — the center of Arkansas — by Service-Disabled Veterans who understood firsthand the critical importance of reliable medical and surgical supplies in healthcare settings.
From day one, our mission has been straightforward: provide government agencies, Veterans Affairs facilities, EMS providers, and healthcare institutions with the highest-quality medical products through a procurement process that is simple, compliant, and dependable.
As an 8(a) Certified and SDVOSB-verified company, we bring both the credentials and the commitment to every contract we fulfill.
