Since its inception, MTI has designed, manufactured and sold exam and procedure chairs and tables, medical cabinetry, stools, procedure and exam lighting, and many related accessories for the Podiatry, Otolaryngology, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Oral Surgery, and Ophthalmology specialties.

Our Story
When Jeff Baker founded Medical Technology Industries, Inc. DBA MTI, Inc., he had already worked in the healthcare field for over 26 years. His time as vice president of The HealthChair Group’s DMI® medical division and his long years working with PDM®, The HealthChair Group’s podiatry division, prepared him for his new venture as he launched MTI in 1999.
Armed with the knowledge of his customers’ needs and desires, Jeff Baker founded MTI to make and sell high-quality patient and physician oriented seating and cabinetry, along with other accessories. MTI designed its first podiatry chair the same year the company was founded, followed by a complete line of cabinetry and surgery chairs for otolaryngology.
MTI’s success and rapid growth led to the construction in 2005 of a technology-rich 50,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. The building includes green technology, including computer-controlled high-efficiency cooling and heating systems, low-E glass windows, central plenum ceilings, and additional wall and ceiling insulation.
