HAcare

What HAcare does

HAcare is a French creator and manufacturer of medical devices, operating as a privately held group (Groupe HACARE, SAS) founded in 1860 and headquartered in Paris with five production sites across France. The company serves healthcare establishments through four brands — BMB, Allibert, Corona, and Herdegen — offering hospital beds, care carts, nursing furniture, ambulatory chairs (notably the AMB7/Clavia), dialysis chairs (Ergolys), accompanying armchairs (ARETHA), and configurable medical storage systems (MOD'ALLI, LOGIST'ALLI). Underlying product technology centers on proprietary mechanical and ergonomic platforms including the Easy Clip tool-free accessory mounting system, EasyClean tool-free disassembly for hygiene, EasyMOV shock absorption with 5th motorized wheel offering 20km autonomy, electronic locking (RFID, digicode, key), and modular drawer configurations; the company reports 42 dB noise levels for certain products and uses 60% plant-based and 25% recycled materials by weight in some lines.

The group employs 450 people, references approximately 1,000 clients, and serves primary care environments including hospitals, nursing homes/residential care, and home care (in expansion). The revenue model is hardware sales of medical furniture and equipment, supplemented by spare parts and after-sales service through dedicated SAV departments per brand. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices; go-to-market combines regional field sales with department-specific commercial managers, an inside sales team responding to website inquiries, and marketplace distribution through the UniHA purchasing consortium for hospital members. A dedicated export service addresses international customers. The company has earned EcoVadis Gold certification (2026) for both Corona Medical (79/100) and BMB Medical (80/100), placing it in the top 5% of medical furniture companies for CSR performance.
