ICE Magazine Editor John Wallace recently interviewed Techno-Aide Marketing & Design Coordinator Noah Lauck to find out more about the company and how it supports healthcare imaging professionals.
Q: How does your company stand out in the imaging space?
Lauck: Techno-Aide knows resilience and adaptation better than anyone. In March 2020, our facilities were destroyed by an EF-3 tornado that wiped out the company’s manufacturing facility and offices that had been home to the business for 35 years. Techno-Aide’s team rallied in the wake of the tornado to remake the company for the future. Less than a year after the tornado, Techno-Aide moved into its new home, a 45,000-square-foot office and manufacturing facility in Whites Creek, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville.
Since then, we’ve expanded our business avenues to include medical contracting and metal fabrication and produced innovative products to the imaging world such as the world’s first remote controlled mobile panel positioner, The Sidekick. Where some might have seen the tornado as an obstacle too big to overcome, Techno-Aide saw it as a chance to build something fresh and new. The ability to turn adversity into opportunity is what sets Techno-Aide apart.
Q: What is on the horizon for your company? Do you have any goals you would like to achieve in the near future?
Lauck: We hold ourselves to a high standard at Techno-Aide and the goals we set for ourselves reflect that. Broadly speaking, our goal is to grow. We want to grow with our partnerships and industry presence. We also want to grow and develop our team so we can maintain the high standard we set for our business so when opportunities or obstacles present themselves, we’ll be ready.
