What Helapet does
Helapet Limited is a UK-based manufacturer and distributor of medical and cleanroom consumables, headquartered in Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, with operations dating to 1984 and operating as a subsidiary of CliniMed Group. The company supplies sterile and non-sterile consumables into hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers, with additional reach into laboratories, veterinary practices, and community healthcare. Core technology spans custom inline disc filters (VariDisk) using PTFE, HEPA, and WPE media; an integrated Cold Chain Solutions portfolio of Porter carrier systems (VaccinePorter, BloodPorter, TPNPorter, PlasmaPorter, MiniPorter) with Medicool cool packs that maintain temperature for up to 8 hours; and a Medical Devices portfolio including Arisure closed system transfer devices (CSTDs) for cytotoxic handling and Nutricair ENFIT-compliant enteral feeding devices.
Helapet also distributes third-party brands such as Berner cytotoxic gowns and Biogel gloves alongside its own registered trademarks including SteriClean disinfection products, PharmaPack bulk-packed syringes, Neutraclear needle-free connectors, Chemocair chemotherapy preparation and administration lines, and EVA infusion bags. Manufacturing is conducted under an ISO 13485:2016 quality management system (BSI Cert. # MD 78785), with the company holding Investors in People Gold (2024), Great Place to Work certification (2025/2026, 83% Trust Index), and NHS Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Level 2 status.
The business model is direct-to-customer sales in the UK supported by dedicated account managers, a sample-driven "try-before-you-buy" programme, and a published price list with quote-based custom pricing. International reach is delivered through distributors — Brennan & Co. for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and Albiox Oy for Scandinavia — with active recruitment of additional distributors for new overseas markets. Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time purchases of consumable products (sterile and non-sterile PPE, syringes, filters, carriers, chemotherapy protection, and enteral devices) with minimum order values ranging from £50 (Great Britain) to £250 (Europe) per geography, supplemented by the custom inline disc filter manufacturing line.
