Elastic Therapy Inc., (ETI) in Asheboro, NC, who will take on
the manufacturing of all OrthoSleeve products that are sold and

their headquarters in the United States or the United Kingdom
for worldwide distribution. The Taiwan factory will continue to
manufacture product for Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle

"It's always been our goal to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
when it became feasible to do so," says David Higgins, CEO of
ING Source Inc. and inventor of the OrthoSleeve concept," and
I'm thrilled we could keep it right here in North Carolina, too,
where some of the best medical hosiery and specialty apparel has
been produced for over a hundred years!"
ETI formed in 1989 and is one of the largest manufacturers of
medical grade compression products in the world, employing over
200 workers in the Asheboro facility. ING Source, Inc. produces
