Rockwell Medical, Inc.

A maker of dialysis products for people with kidney failure, Rockwell Medical supplies clinics with the acid and bicarbonate concentrates used in treatment, plus medicines like Triferic to keep patients' iron levels healthy. Founder Robert Chioini launched it in 1995 in a corner of his father's commercial cleaning business in Ferndale, Michigan. Needing a name that sounded dependable, he spotted a book about painter Norman Rockwell on his shelf — and that's how the company got its name.
