IMG Europe

What IMG Europe does

IMG Europe is a privately held, second-generation Dutch family business founded in 1989 and headquartered in Gassel, Brabant, Netherlands. The company supplies specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) — including FFP respiratory masks, disposable protective clothing, the proprietary Barrier2000 isolation system, CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) protective equipment, pre-decontamination and emergency clothing sets, and body bags for dignified recovery in CBRN and conflict situations — to hospitals, emergency services, government institutions and international humanitarian organizations such as Artsen zonder Grenzen (Médecins Sans Frontières) and UNICEF, for which it is a contracted supplier. Its core technology is specialized infection-control and CBRN hardware, including customized kits (e.g., pre-decontamination sets with barcoded waste bags and wristbands) and a TU/e-validated disposable face shield, supported by 20 years of in-house R&D in CBRN/infection-control solutions.

The business operates a B2B direct-sales model with personalized advisory, custom-made packages, large inventory and short lead times, positioning itself as a one-stop-shop for PPE needs under the slogan 'Personal Protective Solutions' (adopted in a 2016 rebrand from 'Infection Control Solutions'). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated primarily through hardware sales to enterprise and institutional buyers in the Benelux. Adjacent revenue streams include CBRN training and advisory through its wholly-owned Academy for Advanced Protection (AFAP) subsidiary, and the company maintains operational proximity to its sister company Wijnroemer Relief Goods (WRG, active since 1983), which delivers relief goods worldwide to UNICEF, MSF and the Red Cross. Strategic partnerships in 2024 with ENS Technology (air purification) and Microgard (chemical-protective clothing) extend the product surface, while positioning against the LNAZ 'Leidraad Acute Ziekenhuiszorg na IGS' guideline anchors the offering within a specific Dutch regulatory framework. No external capital, no AI/ML capabilities, no M&A activity and no disclosed financial metrics are evidenced in the source data.
