Dr. Allen DeVilbiss invented the first atomizer in the late 1880’s. In order to help his patients breathe more freely, Dr. DeVilbiss tried harder, worked smarter and became an innovator – dedicated to the quality of design and its impact on the quality of life. He would tinker around in his backyard woodshed until just the right tool was perfected.
To manufacture the device, Dr. DeVilbiss formed an individual proprietorship known as The DeVilbiss Manufacturing Company in Toledo, OH. A century later the company, then DeVilbiss Health Care, was acquired by Eagle Industries. In 1993, DeVilbiss was one of five market-leading brands acquired by Sunrise Medical which was later acquired by Vestar Capital Partners in 2000. In 2010, DeVilbiss Healthcare was split from Sunrise Medical.
Today, DeVilbiss Healthcare is a privately held Limited Liability Corporation owned by Vestar Capital Partners. Vestar is a leading private equity firm specializing in middle-market growth capital investments. Established in 1988, Vestar Capital Partner’s portfolio of holdings includes:
