What Hospidex does
Hospidex-Innomediq is a privately held Belgian medical device distribution group headquartered in Tienen, founded in 1986 by M. Huart as MSH (Medical Scientific Huart) and rebranded to Hospidex Group in 2016. The company distributes a multi-brand portfolio spanning five specializations — Home Healthcare, Hygiene Solutions, Patient Monitoring & Life Support, Pressure Relief & Mobility Care, and Safety Solutions — sourced from manufacturers including OMRON (exclusive Benelux since 1994, extended 2018), Mindray (exclusive Belgium via Innomediq since 2023, plus Netherlands from September 2025 via QRS transfer), Sharpsafe (exclusive Belgium since 1992), Balanced Body, Sissel, Repose, Novacare, Vernacare, PDI International, Toto, VBM, and Medirol. It serves hospitals, residential and care homes, pharmacies, physiotherapy and Pilates studios, emergency services, and home users through dedicated field-sales teams in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, complemented by a DACH channel presence and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at hospidex.shop.
The core technology Hospidex integrates is a medical-device distribution and clinical-services platform rather than a proprietary software product: it combines the Mindray patient-monitoring ecosystem (devices communicating with hospital information systems and patient records), OMRON's IntelliSense AFib-enabled blood pressure monitors with OMRON Connect mobile-app integration, Repose air-cell pressure redistribution technology, and Sharpsafe ISO 23907-compliant sharps containers. Following the 2023 acquisition of Innomediq, Hospidex-Innomediq also provides local 24/7 technical and clinical-expert support for Mindray installations, layering professional services revenue onto hardware distribution.
The business model is B2B hardware distribution with complementary professional services. Revenue is generated through direct sales of medical devices and consumables to healthcare institutions under quote-based pricing with 30-day invoice terms, supplemented by recurring service revenue from Mindray maintenance contracts. The group reported approximately €50 million in revenue and 95 employees in 2024, is backed by Smile Invest (Urbain Vandeurzen's private investment fund, partner since 2021), and is led by new CEO Jean-Marc Mahieu following the 2025 transition from the founder-led Managing Director structure of Hendrik Seghers and Francis Gielen.
