Lojer

What Lojer does

Lojer Group is a Finnish manufacturer of medical furniture and equipment, headquartered in Sastamala, Finland, with origins dating to 1919 as Vammalan Konepaja. The company designs and produces hospital beds, examination tables, treatment tables, operating tables, surgical lights (Q-Flow 1 & 2 with integrated 4K cameras), OR integration systems (OpenOR), medical pendants, and physiotherapy/rehabilitation equipment (Manuthera 242, Kinos, Delta, Capre treatment tables). Manufacturing is centralized in three owned Finnish factories — Sastamala (HQ and main factory), Hollola (Merivaara surgical production), and Kempele (Temelex hospital beds). The product portfolio spans four business areas: Hospital & Nursing, Surgery (via the wholly-owned Merivaara subsidiary acquired in 2022), Senior Care, and Physical Therapy Equipment.

The company serves hospitals, nursing homes, surgical centers, physiotherapy/rehabilitation clinics, homecare providers, and veterinary clinics in over 120 countries. Customer references include Helsinki University Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital (NKS Solna project), New Children's Hospital Helsinki, Mehiläinen, Terveystalo, and the European Medical Center in Moscow. Commercial reach is delivered through owned subsidiaries (Medema Physio AB in Sweden, Lojer Medical LLC in Russia, Lojer Medical LLP in Kazakhstan) combined with a network of 50+ authorized distributors and large-ticket enterprise direct sales for major hospital contracts.

The business model is predominantly B2B hardware sales (medical furniture, surgical tables, surgical lights) complemented by recurring service revenue from leasing, short-term rental, maintenance contracts, and spare parts distributed for both Lojer-made and third-party equipment. The group, which also distributes international premium brands (Storz, TheraBand, ErgoFit, Paramount) in the Nordics, generates approximately €64 million in annual turnover with a 70% export share (up to 95% for surgical products). Lojer is privately held and controlled by owner-entrepreneur Ville Laine, led since September 2025 by CEO Roberto Quintero (the sixth CEO in the company's 106-year history), with Roberto Quintero and Esko Mertsalmi's April 2026 board appointment signaling a renewed focus on digitalization and international growth.

Direct peers

• Getinge: Swedish global medical technology company with overlapping portfolio in surgical tables, surgical lights, OR integration, and hospital beds/ICU. Direct Nordic competitor to Lojer/Merivaara in operating rooms and acute care, and the most comparable publicly listed European peer.
• Merivaara (pre-Lojer acquisition benchmark) / Merivaara Oy: Now a wholly owned Lojer subsidiary, Merivaara historically competed head-to-head with Lojer in surgical tables, OR integration, and surgical lights in the Nordics and Baltics. Retained as a brand post-2022 acquisition and remains the most direct product-line comparable to Lojer's surgical portfolio.
• Trumpf Medical (now part of Hillrom/Baxter): German-based manufacturer of surgical lights and operating tables (TruLight, TruSystem). Direct peer to Merivaara's Q-Flow surgical lights and operating tables, particularly in the EU and emerging markets, with comparable premium positioning.
• Stille AB: Swedish manufacturer of premium surgical tables and imaging tables. Lojer has a historical cooperation with Stille dating to the 1980s, and Stille remains a direct Nordic competitor in operating tables, especially for high-acuity surgical procedures.
• Schaerer Medical: Swiss manufacturer of operating tables, surgical lights, and medical pendants. Closely comparable product range to Lojer/Merivaara's surgical portfolio with similar European premium positioning and similar customer base in Western European hospitals.
• Mizuho OSI: US-based manufacturer of specialty surgical tables (particularly for spinal and orthopedic surgery). Comparable to Lojer/Merivaara in operating table engineering and customization, and competes in the same global tenders for high-end OR equipment.
• Skytron: US manufacturer of surgical lights, surgical tables, and OR integration solutions. Closely comparable to Lojer/Merivaara across the full surgical room package (table, light, integration) and a key competitor in the Americas where Lojer has limited direct presence.

Broad incumbents

• Stryker Corporation: US-headquartered global medical device giant with extensive surgical equipment, hospital beds, and integrated OR offerings (iBOd, Mako). Significantly larger than Lojer but directly comparable in surgical tables, lights, and hospital stretchers, and a benchmark for Lojer's long-term smart-hospital ambitions.
• Hillrom (now part of Baxter): Acquired by Baxter International in 2021, Hillrom is a leading US provider of hospital beds (Centrella, Progressa+), surgical lights, and connected care solutions. Overlaps with Lojer's hospital bed, ICU bed, and surgical lighting categories and competes globally in acute-care tenders.

Emerging players

• UFSK International: German specialist in treatment tables, examination chairs, and physiotherapy equipment. Directly comparable to Lojer's Physical Therapy Equipment business (Manuthera 242, Kinos, Delta) with overlap in the European physio and rehabilitation clinic channel.
