Mediq Deutschland

What Mediq Deutschland does

Mediq Deutschland GmbH is a German homecare and medical supplies company headquartered in Merzig, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediq B.V. (Netherlands). The company serves more than 140,000 patients across Germany and delivers chronic-care solutions in eight therapy areas: APAT, parenteral and enteral nutrition, stoma, wound care, tracheostomy, catheter incontinence, and diabetes. It addresses four customer segments — patients with chronic conditions, nursing/care facilities (Pflegeeinrichtungen), clinics and hospitals (Kliniken), and health insurers (Krankenkassen) — supported by medical professionals and wholesale partners, including Eu-Medical for distribution.

The product portfolio combines third-party manufacturer brands with consolidated own-brand lines under the Mediq Select umbrella (Klinion, Absorin, Curion), with the clinical wound line kliniderm and the digital platforms MEIN MEDIQ APP (patient mobile app), MEDIQ CONNECT (browser-based nursing home platform with GDPR-compliant care documentation, ordering, and delivery tracking), and the Mediq Business Portal for B2B ordering. The company is DIN EN ISO 13485 certified and implements MDR Article 14, establishing the compliance baseline required for medical device distribution in the EU. It employs approximately 650 people in Germany, including a 120-person external field sales force (Außendienst), with regional offices in Frankfurt am Main, Dresden, Neumünster, Munich, and Kassel supplementing the Merzig headquarters.

Mediq generates revenue through a hybrid model combining medical product and consumable hardware sales with recurring homecare professional services such as wound management, nutrition therapy support, and hospital-to-home transition management. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales through customer service centers, self-service digital portals, and wholesale resellers. Business customers transact under unit pricing with a €100 net minimum order threshold (below which €6 shipping applies), and patient-side reimbursement flows through statutory health insurance as required for covered medical aids. The parent group is privately held by private equity firm Advent (acquired 2013), operates in 13 European countries, and is led at group level by CEO Arjen Linders, appointed March 2024.
