Our History
BPI Medical was founded as Ben’s Precision Instruments in 1976 by Ben Overmars Sr., who learned to repair surgical instruments as a youth in his native Holland. After immigrating to the USA, Mr. Overmars opened his own surgical sharpening business. In 1993, BPI Medical expanded its repair services to offer pneumatic and electric hand pieces. Soon after, Olympus closed 8 of its 14 U.S. repair centers allowing BPI Medical to further expand its operations to include the repair of flexible & rigid endoscopes, light sources, cameras, printers and other endoscopy equipment.
