GMED Healthcare Solutions

What GMED Healthcare Solutions does

GMED Healthcare Solutions GmbH is a specialized medical logistics and installation services provider headquartered in Forchheim, Germany, operating as the healthcare-focused subsidiary of the Simon Hegele Corporate Group. Originally established as Gailing GmbH and rebranded under its current name in July 2019, the company delivers a modular 360° service portfolio covering project management, transportation and rigging, mechanical and electrical assembly, installation, commissioning (application), disassembly and reprocessing, trade fair logistics, RF cabin distribution, and value-added services for high-value medical devices. Its core specializations are MRI systems, radiotherapy, and radiosurgery equipment, with proprietary tooling that includes custom transportation frames and an interchangeable bridge with integrated cooling unit to minimize helium loss during transport.

The company serves two primary customer verticals: medical equipment OEMs, which rely on GMED's worldwide installation network to deploy MRI and imaging systems at end-customer sites, and hospitals and healthcare facilities, which require time-critical delivery, assembly, and on-site coordination with construction and technical vendors. Operations span four countries, with an EMEA headquarters in Forchheim, an Americas headquarters in Wood Dale, Illinois, additional German sites in Stuttgart and Duisburg, and a Turkish subsidiary (Simon Hegele Lojistik ve Servis Ticaret Limited Şirketi) in Istanbul, plus coverage in Australia.

GMED's business model is enterprise project-based professional services: revenue is generated through tailored, multi-module contracts with OEMs and healthcare providers, with pricing customized per project rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Xing presence, with candidate recruitment routed through the Simon Hegele group career portal. Managing Directors Maximilian Streit and Heiko Lindenberger lead the GmbH entity, which has 11-50 employees and no external investors or public funding rounds disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Cardinal Health: US-based healthcare services and logistics company distributing medical products to hospitals and pharmacies. While broader in scope, Cardinal Health's medical distribution and supply chain services overlap with GMED's healthcare logistics positioning with hospitals and providers.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: German family-owned global logistics provider with healthcare logistics capabilities including medical device handling and installation. As a German peer, Hellmann competes with GMED for medical equipment installation and logistics services, particularly in EMEA.
• Agility Logistics: Global logistics company with life sciences and healthcare capabilities, including medical equipment handling and installation support. Agility competes with GMED for medical device OEM contracts and hospital logistics, but operates with broader product lines and geographic spread.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics company with a healthcare division serving medical device manufacturers and hospitals. DSV is comparable to GMED in providing specialized logistics for high-value medical equipment but at a much larger scale and broader scope.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global contract logistics leader with a dedicated Life Sciences and Healthcare division handling medical device logistics and aftermarket services. DHL competes with GMED for medical equipment installation and logistics contracts at hospitals and OEMs, though it is much broader in scope than GMED's specialized MRI/radiotherapy installation focus.
• DB Schenker: German-headquartered global logistics provider with a healthcare vertical handling medical devices and hospital supply chains. As a fellow German-headquartered player, DB Schenker is a natural competitor for medical equipment installation and logistics contracts in EMEA and globally.
• CEVA Logistics: Global logistics provider with a healthcare vertical covering medical device distribution, installation support, and aftermarket services. CEVA competes with GMED for OEM and hospital contracts, particularly in Europe and the Americas, and is comparable in serving medical equipment end customers.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with a dedicated KN Healthcare unit covering pharmaceutical, medical device, and hospital logistics. Comparable to GMED in serving medical OEMs and hospitals, but with significantly broader scope, scale, and product lines.
• Owens & Minor: US-based healthcare logistics and supply chain company specializing in medical product distribution to hospitals and providers. Tangentially comparable to GMED as a healthcare supply chain specialist, though Owens & Minor focuses more on consumables and supplies than capital equipment installation.

Others

• C.H. Robinson: Global third-party logistics provider with a dedicated Healthcare and Life Sciences practice serving medical device and pharmaceutical customers. While C.H. Robinson is broader than GMED and does not specialize in MRI or radiotherapy installation, its healthcare logistics services overlap with portions of GMED's offering.
