Rane: Accessible Bathing Solutions, Community Commitment, and Empower Certification

A Family Legacy in Accessible Design

Rane, a Bestbath brand, based in Sparta, Tennessee, has been creating safe, accessible bathing solutions since 1990. While purchased by Bestbath Systems Inc in 2022, Rane has been family operated for three generations, with long-term employees bringing more than 125 years of combined experience in walk-in tub design and manufacturing. What began with a vision to serve seniors and people with mobility challenges has grown into a trusted name in accessibility and independence.

Manufactured with Care—Right Here in Tennessee

Every Rane product is designed and built at their 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Sparta. Their walk-in tubs and bathing systems are fully assembled, factory-tested, and shipped ready to install—a process that ensures quality, safety, and convenience while saving time and money for customers. From compact tubs for tight residential spaces to larger commercial models designed for a healthcare setting, Rane’s offerings reflect thoughtful design and a deep understanding of their customers’ needs.

With nationwide sales, service, and training, they extend their Tennessee craftsmanship across North America while maintaining the personal touch of a family business.

Now Empower Certified

Rane has also taken a significant step by becoming an Empower Certified Employer through Empower Upper Cumberland’s program. This certification recognizes businesses that actively partner in the fight against poverty by:

• Hiring and supporting Empower participants who are building stronger futures.

• Offering a workplace culture that is both supportive and growth-oriented.

• Receiving access to recruitment tools, wage reimbursements, and training that strengthen retention and team development.

For Rane, this commitment means extending their impact beyond the walls of their factory—investing in people, families, and the broader Upper Cumberland community.

Building More Than Products

Rane has always been about more than manufacturing tubs. Their mission is about dignity, safety, and independence for customers. Now, as an Empower Certified Employer, they are also creating pathways for stability, growth, and opportunity for the people of their community. It’s another way Rane proves they are big enough to serve, but small enough to care.
