Vision
Our Legacy
Respect for others & the cultivation of trusted partnerships drives our everyday actions.
In 1991, Gerry LoDuca founded Dukal with a clear vision: to bring high-quality, cost-effective products to market and improve how the industry serves caregivers and patients. With over 40 years of experience in sales and product development, Gerry recognized an opportunity to create a company that prioritized innovation and people.
Under his leadership, Dukal grew through the acquisition of strong, values-aligned companies, the development of innovative products, and the recruitment of talented professionals. That foundation helped establish Dukal as a trusted partner across the healthcare supply chain and set the tone for the company’s enduring culture—where people always come first.
