Lamboo Medical

What Lamboo Medical does

Lamboo Medical Europe B.V. is a Dutch family-owned manufacturer founded in 1957 by Joost Lamboo as a coachwork factory and pivoted to medical accommodations in 1985 with its first mobile mammography trailer. Today the company designs and builds Mobile, Hybrid, and Relocatable accommodations for housing diagnostic imaging equipment, serving hospitals, government health ministries, and medical equipment OEMs across the Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, and a growing international footprint spanning China, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, and Africa. Lamboo claims 850+ realized projects globally and 350+ units installed with NHS UK, where it is the #1 mobile partner.

The company's core technical differentiator is a proprietary sandwich panel technology using closed-cell aerospace-grade foam with up to 14 layers of materials including shielding, providing 0.375K insulation, corrosion-free operation, and a -35°C to +45°C operating range; a fire-rated variant was patented in November 2024. Lamboo is certified by every major global medical imaging OEM — Canon, GE Healthcare, Hologic, Philips, Siemens Healthineers, Steelco, and United Imaging — making its units the only all-OEM-certified mobile/hybrid/relocatable accommodations in the market. Operations are organized through Zoetermeer (EU HQ and production), Haydock (UK service), and Harmony, North Carolina (US production and service via the 2022-acquired Lamboo-SVSR, LLC subsidiary).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales of custom-built mobile/hybrid/relocatable units integrating OEM imaging equipment (MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammography, central sterilization), with milestone payments of 60% on acceptance, 30% on roof completion, and 10% pre-delivery. Recurring service revenue comes from Essential, Extended, and Complete 24/7 service packages covering SLA, remote monitoring, and customer portal access, supplemented by engineering, logistics, and training services and a 15+15-year buyback/2nd Life programme. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to hospitals and government ministries, supplemented by major medical congresses (RSNA Chicago, UKIO Liverpool) and channel partnerships with mobile imaging operators Agito Medical and InHealth. The company is led by third-generation CEO Joost Lamboo Jr., supported by a Supervisory Board including Prof. Marcel Levi (Chair of NWO) and Jacques P.M. Kuyf (former CEO FD Media Group).

Core offering

Lamboo Medical designs, engineers, manufactures, and services bespoke mobile, hybrid, and relocatable accommodations that house diagnostic imaging and sterilization equipment (MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammography, cath-lab, CSSD) for hospitals, governments, and OEM operators. Units are built on proprietary closed-cell sandwich panel technology, certified by every major medical equipment OEM, with operating range from -35°C to +45°C, and delivered with 24/7 maintenance, training, logistics, and a 15+15-year buyback programme.

Product overview

Lamboo Medical is a leading global provider of Innovative Medical Accommodations, offering a portfolio of Mobile, Hybrid, and Relocatable units for housing diagnostic imaging and treatment equipment. The product lineup is built around proprietary Sandwich Panel Technology—closed-cell foam panels used in aerospace applications that provide superior insulation, corrosion resistance, and durability across extreme climates (-35°C to +45°C). Mobile Units are road-transportable solutions built on custom chassis; Hybrid Units offer semi-permanent installations with self-deploying hydraulic systems eliminating crane requirements; and Relocatable Units are permanent-structure-compliant expansions for hospitals. All units integrate certified medical equipment from OEM partners (Canon, GE Healthcare, Hologic, Philips, Siemens Healthineers, Steelco, United Imaging) including MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammography, and central sterilization systems. The company also offers a 2nd Life Buyback Programme supporting 15+15 year unit lifecycles, along with comprehensive service, engineering, logistics, and training services.
