Medical Technology Associates acquires Premier Medical

Jo-Lynn Brown January 19, 2024

Medical Technology Associates, a Pinellas Park-based provider of medical gas services, testing and equipment, has acquired Premier Medical, headquartered in Tennessee, with a branch office in Florida.

Premier will now have access to MTA’s software platforms for the benefit of employees and customers, according to a statement.

“Together, we will broaden our service offerings, expand our footprint and leverage technology to drive customer success,” said Val Marks, chief executive officer of MTA. “It’s a real win/win for customers and employees.”

Founded in 2000 by Christian Rife, and currently led in partnership with Jonathan Rife, Premier also is a provider of medical gas services and equipment. Both Christian and Jonathan will continue in executive roles at MTA.
