Medicor

What Medicor does

Medicor AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss medical device distributor headquartered at Gewerbestrasse 10, CH-6330 Cham, Canton of Zug, Switzerland. It distributes medical products and devices across seven specialty areas — Radiology, Cardiology, Cardio- & Thoracic Surgery, Gastroenterology, Pneumology, Urology, and Veterinary Medicine — sourced from a portfolio of international manufacturers including Create Medic (exclusive Swiss distribution for Sengstaken-Blakemore tubes and transanal ileus decompression sets), HugeMed Endoview, Nemoto (contrast media injectors for CT/MRI), Barrier Technologies (radiation protection), Maquet-Atrium (thoracic drainage), Bioteque Corp. (drainage catheters and closed suction systems), and Circa Scientific (esophageal temperature monitoring). Its offering also includes Quincy Labs contrast media warming cabinets.

The company operates a traditional distribution model: it sources from manufacturers and resells, installs, trains, and services the equipment for Swiss hospitals, clinics, medical practices, and veterinary practices. Go-to-market relies on a direct field sales force (currently hiring a Western Switzerland urology sales representative covering Bern to Geneva), supplemented by digital procurement channels including the Hystrix Medical Marketplace and GS1 Firstbase Healthcare product data publishing. Marketing is primarily content-based through a multilingual (German, English, French) company website, with conference participation such as the SSU Annual Meeting 2026 in St. Gallen.

Commercial terms are quoted net in Swiss francs (CHF), excluding VAT, with Incoterms DDP applied to Swiss deliveries above CHF 100 net. The company is privately held by a family, has 1-10 employees, and discloses no revenue, funding rounds, or institutional investors. Notable data inconsistencies in the source material include conflicting founding dates (firmographics state 1980, while website copyright range is 2018-2026) and headcount field listed alongside management_team as empty; the website copyright range is the more recent and visible evidence.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Galexis AG: Switzerland's leading pharma and medical product wholesaler (part of the AmerisourceBergen/PharmaLex network) — broad-line incumbent that overlaps with Medicor's hospital/customer base but at much greater scale and a wider product portfolio.
• Henry Schein: Global medical and dental device distributor with a large European footprint — broad-line incumbent that competes for hospital and practice accounts with deeper catalog and global scale than Medicor.
• B. Braun Medical AG: Global medical device manufacturer with direct Swiss distribution to hospitals across multiple specialties Medicor serves — competes both as a manufacturer bypassing distributors and as a broad-line supplier.
• Medline International: Large private global medical supply manufacturer and distributor with a meaningful European and Swiss presence — broad-line incumbent that pressures specialty distributors like Medicor on price and breadth.

Direct peers

• Amedis AG: Swiss medical device and supplies distributor focused on specialty clinical categories — directly comparable as a domestic Swiss specialty distributor with overlapping hospital and clinic customers.
• Colson Medical: Swiss medical device distributor serving hospitals and clinics across multiple specialties — directly comparable in business model, geography, and end-customer focus to Medicor AG.
• HOSPITEC AG: Swiss specialist distributor of medical devices and hospital supplies to acute-care providers — directly comparable in customer base (Swiss hospitals), product mix, and distribution-only model to Medicor AG.
• Medidata AG: Swiss medical supply and device distributor to hospitals and practices — a direct competitor in the domestic Swiss market with a similar multi-specialty distribution model.

Emerging players

• Sarstedt AG: German-headquartered manufacturer and distributor of medical devices and consumables with strong DACH presence — comparable in product categories (consumables, specialty devices) but a manufacturer-led model rather than pure distribution.

Regional players

• Mediq: European medical device and homecare distributor headquartered in the Netherlands — comparable medical-device distribution model, but operates outside Switzerland and serves a broader European customer base.
