The Swiss market is served exclusively through wholly-owned subsidiary BERRO AG in Bühler.

• medi (medi GmbH & Co. KG): German manufacturer of medical compression stockings, bandages, and orthoses for veins, thrombosis, and orthopedics. Same DACH channel model (medical supply retailers, prescription-based) and direct category overlap with Sporlastic's product lines.
• Thuasne: French family-owned manufacturer of orthopedic braces, bandages, and compression therapy products with strong European presence. Directly comparable in product categories (ankle, knee, wrist, spine braces) and the medical-retail go-to-market model.

• DJO (Enovis Corporation): Global orthopedic medical device company (formerly DJO Global) with broad portfolio in bracing, recovery, and surgical implants. Overlaps with Sporlastic in orthopedic supports and braces, but operates at much larger scale and across many more categories.
