Athena GTX can provide the perfect blend of innovation, superior products as well as a straightforward and honest business approach - a refreshing combination focused on our customer's needs.

Why Choose Athena GTX?

The number of self-proclaimed high-tech companies today is simply overwhelming. It comes down to an issue of value, i.e., what you "get" for what you "pay". Athena GTX remains steadfast in first earning your respect before we earn any sale.

Athena GTX is a government certified small business that supplies HazMat suits and protection suits and equipment and we maintain full on-site sales and engineering teams ready and able to address your questions, concerns, needs and desires. We deliver not only standard off-the-shelf solutions available from thousands of suppliers, but we will custom design and tailor solutions to your specific needs and budget.

We realize that buyers enjoy procuring their goods and services from local vendors - small businesses that they know and trust to give them the best possible price while standing behind their products. As a small business, we do not have a large overhead buried in the sale price of our products. Thus, we can not only be extremely competitive but we are able to support our customers in research and development and offer WMD team training. We are here to help you understand your options and prepare you to make an informed decision.

Athena GTX provides unique lightweight EUROLITE HazMat suit technologies, patient isolation systems and is currently developing next generation wireless medical sensing systems and personnel state and tracking/location wireless systems. Our hardware and software development is done in-house. Athena GTX is currently heavily engaged with US Navy research as well. Our goods and services have been purchased by discerning Fire Departments and hospitals from California to Oregon and into Arizona.

Let us provide you with competitive price quotes and our superb customer service.

Athena GTX?
Athena GTX provides a perfect blend of innovative research and development, prototyping, product development, manufacturing, distribution and capability to meet the rigorous demands of this century. The company is currently involved with developing advanced wireless medical monitoring devices for military and civilian applications.

Athena GTX also provides Personal Protective Equipment and supplies to meet the needs of HazMat and First Responder personnel in the fields of mass casualty and terrorism response.

A dynamic team focused on the innovations of tomorrow...today.
Athena GTX serves the unique, high-tech biomedical market of the Department of Defense (DoD) telemedicine and life support research and development. Some of our teammates have over 25 years of experience in these high-tech environments. These services are characteristically innovative new solutions and prototype specialty products and they require highly motivated and creative employees to maintain performance and gain success.

The business model was created to leverage and build upon past and current extensively funded United States Government research and development in the areas of biosensors, medical triage and medical state monitoring, historical experience with military life support and nuclear/biological/chemical defense, commercialization of military products/services and tri-service applications.

In 2003 our diverse research and development activities were re-organized internally to improve our overall focus on an independent approach greatly increasing the speed and efficiency of technical prototyping. After three years of existence and function in this niche market, the lessons learned and the presumption that the company could continue and prosper to an even greater level as our independence grew, led to a move to incorporate and begin the process of greater independence. It also meant more value for our customers and a direct line to what made us strong...our people.

Our primary business focus is protective equipment distribution to the first responder, medical triage research and development products, advanced life support systems, wireless communications and broad IT applications and biomedical sensing programs for the military. Our consistent growth in the last few years has produced a 300% increase in revenues and/or personnel since our inception. The major focus of the markets we target are the US Navy Trauma Training Center (NTTC), the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), Bethesda Medical Center Navy Hospital, Patuxent River Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Walter Reed Army Medical Center and numerous progressive Fire Departments, HazMat and tactical units.

The events of September 11, 2001 changed the world forever. The influx of state and federal funding for first responder preparedness has grown in the last few years as has the number of suppliers offering products. Athena GTX will continue its focus of winning customers on an informed and educated basis. We do not seek to compete with high-volume distributors into volume commodity markets. Our wish is that our customers understand their options and we fulfill their needs.

In February 2008, Corporate President and CEO of Athena GTX, Dr. Mark Darrah, announced plans to expand the company's regional offices in order to meet the needs of their customers and programs. Originally based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA the company now has offices not only in California but also San Antonio, Texas and a corporate office in Des Moines, Iowa.

"It is clear that these expansion plans are in line with the needs of our military cutomers as well as the civilian markets and the technology explosion we see in the industry", stated Dr. Darrah. "We are excited about the future and the potential to bring high-tech jobs into both Iowa and Texas as part of these efforts."
Athena GTX is currently involved with developing advanced wireless medical monitoring devices for military and civilian applications. The company will expand the development of their WiMedTM program, a completely wireless mobile smart medical monitoring system with the State for Iowa for the U.S. Army. The office in Des Moines, Iowa will further develop this capability and begin local testing leading to clinical trials. The Texas activity is centered around the Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) program with Athena GTX as the prime contractor to the National Trauma Institute (NTI). This program is developing, integrating and testing a new wireless vital signs monitor in severe trauma in three Texas trauma centers beginning in February 2009. Currently, all First Responder PPE sales and marketing efforts will remain in California serving the West Coast clients with expansion plans for the South and Midwest regions in 2009.
