Manufacturer, with demand from seniors surging, expands team and space

Feeling the pressure from what its CEO calls the “silver tsunami,” a manufacturer recently added 35,000 square feet to supplement its headquarters in north Sarasota. It also grew its manufacturing presence in Missouri by 65,000 square feet earlier this year.

The company, Harmar, is growing in terms of space, staff and sales as it works to keep up with the demand for its mobility and accessibility products. Examples of those products include equipment like wheelchair lifts for vehicles.
