Our Story
Relying on years of business, consulting, and entrepreneurial spirit, Heartland Trade Enterprises LLP was formed to help meet the need of struggling states across the U.S. for their PPE needs. Because of Heartland and its Co-Founders, the State of Oklahoma was able to secure much needed PPE for hospitals and health systems across the state. We continue to provide sourcing and purchasing opportunities for our clients every day.
