What Scan Modul does

Scan Modul is a Netherlands-headquartered (Houten) provider of ISO-standard modular storage and transport systems for hospitals and healthcare institutions, operating with over a century of presence in the healthcare market and more than 40 years focused on logistics systems. The company's core offering is built around an ISO-certified 600x400 modular standard that enables trays, baskets, shelves, trolleys, and cabinets to interoperate, allowing complete supply modules to flow from central storage to point-of-use rather than picking individual items. The product portfolio includes ScanCell® mobile storage trolleys, ScanMo™ racking and workstations, CleanLine cabinets, transport solutions, and—most recently—Push-to-Order electronic labels that automate replenishment via wireless integration with hospital ERP and warehouse management systems. Following the September 2022 acquisition of Belgian Belintra NV, the company extended into mobile IT secure medication distribution, CSSD and sterilization, and linen/waste treatment.

Scan Modul generates revenue through three streams: direct hardware sales of modular storage systems, project-based professional services covering consulting, design, and installation, and a recurring equipment rental program called SCAN*rental* offering no-interest financing with terms up to 30 months. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, with terms multi-year, minimum order surcharges, and a standard 5-year product warranty (10 years on hinges). The company sells primarily through a direct field sales force organized by geographic territory (D-A-CH, France/Iberia, Netherlands, Nordics, Switzerland), supplemented by channel partners such as Robomed OG in Austria; trade shows and downloadable multilingual catalogs support mid-funnel demand generation.

On July 3, 2025, Scan Modul International Holding was acquired by Asker Healthcare Group, a Swedish-headquartered European healthcare conglomerate with 4,000+ employees across 17 countries and revenue of SEK 16 billion (EUR 1.37 billion). Previously, in January 2020, private equity firm NewPort Capital had partnered with Scan Modul and appointed Patrick Bark as CEO to drive an accelerated growth strategy that funded the 2022 Belintra acquisition. The company maintains its main production facility in Houten (4,200m² warehouse, 1,950 pallet positions, ~700m² ScanCell production) and regional offices in Germany (Leipzig), Switzerland (Wollerau), Denmark (Skive), France (Paris), and Spain (Barcelona).
