New Product - The Journey!

Trotting On Innovations LLC is a small New Mexico company that has invented products that benefit the supplemental oxygen community, as well as other applications.  A background in Respiratory Therapy and using supplemental oxygen for several years has enabled sole owner, Middy McFarland, to use her experience to develop products for this expanding market.  Testing the products herself for several years has honed the designs.  Not only are these products useful to oxygen users, but can be applied to other purposes.

 

McFarland has attended New Mexico MEP programs such as Lean Green Manufacturing, Value Stream Mapping, and 5S System Work Place Organization.  New Mexico MEP has encouraged the inventors to practice their elevator speeches at their meetings and approach people for market research. Success in any endeavor involves networking. New Mexico MEP has connected the inventors, such as McFarland, to people across the state of New Mexico. Through New Mexico MEP, the New Mexico Small Business Assistance program funded a $20,000 grant with Los Alamos National Laboratory for a year of material research; which McFarland oversaw selection and testing.  Since there are no plastic manufacturers in the Four Corners area, McFarland has performed research in Albuquerque and Arizona areas, wanting to keep manufacturing in the United States.
