What Winncare does

Winncare is a European manufacturer of medical devices serving dependent and elderly populations across institutional and home care settings. The company's product portfolio spans the full dependency care pathway: medical beds (AERYS, ALDRYS), pressure ulcer prevention mattresses and cushions (AXTAIR, ALOVA, NOVA FORM, VITA FORM), patient transfer systems (LUNA ceiling lifts, Eagle lifting cushions, mobile hoists), fall management solutions (Os'care digital platform, releveurs), hygiene equipment (TRITON DUAL shower chairs, Lambda shower trolleys), and daily living aids. The group operates 12 production sites across France, UK, Spain, Poland, and Tunisia, with six commercial subsidiaries and a WinnClub partner network extending distribution to 75+ countries.

Winncare generates revenue primarily through B2B equipment sales to EHPAD/long-term care facilities, hospitals, and home care providers, supplemented by service revenues from Winncare Academy (QUALIOPI-certified training), AirCare maintenance platform, EasyDiag diagnostic tools, and the WinnClub quality-labeled partner network. The Five Mobility acquisition in November 2024 introduced a 24/7 rental model for bariatric equipment in the UK, adding a usage-based recurring revenue stream. Distribution operates through direct sales forces in France, five European commercial subsidiaries, and the WinnClub partner network internationally, with a Joerns Healthcare partnership extending reach to the US market for patient handling equipment.

The company is privately held under Siparex ETI's majority ownership since 2021, with a March 2026 capital reorganization introducing Kartesia alongside Crédit Agricole and BNP Paribas Développement. Under this PE sponsorship, Winncare executed four acquisitions (Pharmaouest 2021, Herida Medical 2023, Scemed 2024, Five Mobility 2024), growing from 75M EUR to approximately 150M EUR in revenue and from roughly 400 to 800 employees. The stated strategic ambition is to become a world champion in dependency care medical devices.
