Rankin began in 1995 in Robert Rankin’s garage, built on a simple idea: serve others well. Today, we’re still a family-owned company, led by Robert’s son, Brent Rankin, and proudly rooted in Southeast Michigan. That Midwest spirit—down-to-earth, hardworking, and genuinely helpful—shapes how we treat our customers, team, and partners every day.
Over three decades, we’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of laboratories across the country—including independent pathology, dermatopathology, gastroenterology, MOHS, hospital, reference, biotech, CRO, university, research, industrial, and in-office labs—with new and refurbished anatomic pathology equipment.
Today, we offer a complete line of histology instruments, consumables, repair parts, and instrument repair. Our focus is simple: deliver trusted quality, competitive pricing, on-time deliveries, and fast, friendly service you can count on.
