The company quickly expanded during the 1970s to include divisions in patient care, surgical, and patient protection products.[3]
DeRoyal continued to expand its domestic manufacturing operations throughout the 1980s via construction and acquisition. During this period, the company pioneered systems for producing custom surgical procedure trays on a just-in-time basis.[3]
In the 1990s, DeRoyal opened a Wound Care division, and continued to introduce new products and systems, such as the TraceCart case-cart-to-waste-cart delivery program. The company also opened new manufacturing facilities in the U.S., South America, and Europe.[3]
The 2000s saw additional expansion and product diversification for DeRoyal, with new facilities in Estonia, Dominican Republic, and Guatemala, new product offerings in fluid medical waste management and custom bracing, and a presence on the World Wide Web.[3]
In November 2019, DeRoyal received honors in the Radio Frequency Identification category at the 2019 Case Study Competition by AIM.[6]
