Numotion

Numotion does not deploy capital as an institutional investor. It is an operating company owned by AEA Investors, a New York-based middle-market private equity firm. AEA's investment team directs capital allocation for the platform, with Mike Swinford executing the operational and acquisition strategy as CEO. Prior private equity sponsors include Audax Group, which owned Numotion before the 2018 sale (per HME News, 2018).

AEA Investors acquired Numotion from Audax Group in 2018 and holds a controlling stake in the company. Numotion operates as a standalone platform within AEA's portfolio, with AEA providing capital for add-on acquisitions and strategic initiatives. The firm's management team, led by CEO Mike Swinford, runs day-to-day operations from the Brentwood, Tennessee headquarters.

Numotion targets regional complex rehab technology providers and durable medical equipment suppliers with established clinical referral relationships and payor contracts. The company uses a combination of internal business development outreach and inbound proposals from owners seeking an exit. Once acquired, local operations integrate into Numotion's national billing, procurement, and clinical-support infrastructure.

Complex rehab technology includes individually configured manual and power wheelchairs, custom seating and positioning systems, and adaptive controls for individuals with permanent disabilities such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and ALS. Unlike standard HME like hospital beds or commodes, CRT requires an evaluation by a credentialed assistive technology professional and detailed clinical documentation for insurance prior authorization. This regulatory complexity creates higher barriers to entry than commoditized equipment supply.

Yes. The Numotion Foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations that serve individuals with disabilities. Philanthropic activities are separated from the commercial operating entity and are not part of the AEA Investors acquisition strategy. The foundation's work focuses on community-level support rather than direct patient equipment subsidies.
