Baxa Corporation Celebrates 30 Years Of Product Safety And Innovation For Hospital Pharmacies
Englewood, CO – March 24, 2005 – In March 1975, two entrepreneurs with experience in pharmacy sales and product development started Baxa Corporation, a medical device company focused on products that ensured patient safety. Thirty years later, the company’s first product – a dispenser dedicated to safe delivery of oral medications – is still the market leader, alongside a full line of devices and systems designed to streamline fluid drug handling, admixture and packaging activities in hospital and alternate-site pharmacies. Baxa Corporation saw organic growth in the 1970’s and early 1980’s through the development of close relationships with key national opinion leaders and the company’s dedication to understanding the needs of hospital pharmacists, and designing products that specifically addressed those sterile compounding needs.
The company’s second decade was characterized by organic expansion through market innovation, as it launched a series of unique products, such as the Repeater™ Pump – the first designed for accurate pharmacy filling. This was followed by the introduction of the MicroMacro™ Automated Compounders, the first to combine high speed for large-volume transfer, with accuracy for micro-ingredient delivery. By the end of its second decade, Baxa has added a dual rate syringe infuser and the Exacta-Mix™ Universal Pump to its line of products supporting pharmacy efficiency.
“It’s not thirty years of achievement that is so rewarding,” states Brian Baldwin, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, “It is the fun and excitement of the journey. My dream of building a truly great business is a continuous work in progress.” Brian and co-founder Ron Baxa both remain active in the business today, complementing the leadership of Brian’s sons Greg and Jeff Baldwin.
Through its focus on state-of-the-art technology for automating sterile compounding and improving other pharmacy procedures, Baxa Corporation gained a reputation as a leader in application knowledge and product innovation. That reputation led the company’s strategic growth in the 1990’s and allowed them to partner with companies such as Abbott Laboratories (now Hospira), Samson Technologies, Fujisawa and others to enhance the value of their product offering.
“Baxa always demonstrated technical expertise,” notes Jeff Baldwin, President and COO, “but it was our focus on customers that has built the business to what it is today. Targeting an underserved market and finding ways to change their operations to improve efficiencies has helped build a base of true Baxa “fans” in hospital pharmacies.”
Today, Baxa Corporation is nearing $100 million in annual sales, with 300 employees at its Englewood, Colorado headquarters. Reaching this 30-year anniversary milestone reflects the dedication of Baxa associates and the loyalty of the company’s customers worldwide. “Our mission,” says Greg Baldwin, Baxa Chairman and CEO, “has been to build lifelong customer relationships by providing the most innovative devices and systems for handling, packaging and administering liquid medications. Our success over the past 30 years is tangible proof that we are living that mission.”

Holben Building Corp. Celebrates 25th Year Doing Business in Denver
(Denver, CO) – The Denver-based Holben Building Corporation will complete 25 years of doing business on June 9th of this year. The announcement is made by Steve Holben, founder and president, who says his company brings extensive experience in building, real estate, real estate brokerage and finance, project consulting, expert witness testimony and property inspection to his company’s clients and projects.
In addition to being one of the most enduring custom home builders in the area, Holben Bulding Corp. has a wide range of experience in commercial and industrial construction, all types of tenant build out, high tech, medical, process and federal construction. Major corporate clients have included IBM, General Electric and United Airlines. Major real estate clients include CB Richard Ellis, Trammell Crow and Cushman & Wakefield.
Holben has purposely kept his company small to provide the flexibility for his diverse background and to allow him to oversee each project personally. While his commercial projects are defined by his clients, Steve finds personal fulfillment by being involved in every detail of the design and construction of his custom homes to make each one a truly one-of-a-kind, site-specific home.
A Denver native, Steve is a graduate of the University of Denver and The School of Mortgage Banking. He has been an active real estate broker since 1974, a Denver "A" contractor since 1978 and is a member of the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver and University Hills Rotary Club.
