Industry Spotlight

Industry Spotlight: MyMedic

Why do we, the MyMedic team, care about saving lives? It’s simple. We wish someone could have saved our dad’s Life. Several years ago, our dad was in a fatal car accident in rural Utah.

Industry Spotlight: EZPack-USA

EZPack-USA, based in California, aims to distribute ECO-friendly, reusable water storage products for outdoor markets such as camping, RV, ATV and off-roading and for home emergency preparedness to assure water supply in case of natural disasters.

The covered entrance, skylight and three large view windows with mosquito netting, exterior awnings and interior zip-up closures allow you to easily adjust for privacy, natural light, and airflow.
