Medline Medical Mart

What Medline Medical Mart does

Medline Medical Mart, operating as Medline Canada, is the Canadian distribution and sales subsidiary of US-based Medline Industries, LP, one of the largest privately held medical product manufacturers and suppliers in North America. Headquartered in Mississauga with a 251–500 employee footprint, the company sells a broad portfolio of medical supplies, equipment, and clinical solutions to healthcare providers across eight vertical segments: Acute Care, Long Term Care, Primary Care, Home Healthcare and Retail, Dental Care, Emergency Medical Services, Podiatry, and Tattoo. Its product catalogue spans eleven categories including Anesthesia & Respiratory, Capital Equipment & Furnishings, Continence Care, EVS & Housekeeping, Infection Control, Diagnostic Equipment, Mobility & Safety, Exam Gloves, Nursing Supplies, OR & Surgical, and Skin & Wound Care, with four bundled clinical expertise practice areas (Infection Prevention, Perioperative Solutions, Skin Health, Safe Mobility).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining an enterprise field sales team serving acute and institutional buyers with direct-to-consumer and retailer channels for the home healthcare segment. Purchasing options include online storefront, print and digital catalogues, and direct engagement with clinical sales representatives. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware/inventory sales of medical products to healthcare providers, with pricing not publicly disclosed and routed through sales engagement.

The company is supported by regional offices and a newly opened Guelph Distribution Centre intended to provide coast-to-coast Canadian fulfillment. It distinguishes itself through the parent Medline brand, clinical education programming (e.g., 'Together Gets Us There' partnerships with senior living and home health operators), and portfolio breadth enabling one-stop procurement for healthcare facilities. The legal entity holding the MEDLINE trademark is Medline Industries, LP, a US limited partnership; specific institutional ownership of the Canadian subsidiary is not disclosed.
