InterMed

What InterMed does

InterMed is a privately held healthcare technology distributor and supplier headquartered in Albany, Auckland, founded in 1980 and now operating across New Zealand and Australia via InterMed Medical Limited (NZ) and InterMed Medical Pty Ltd (Australia) under an InterMed Group Holdings Ltd holding structure. The company distributes medical devices, equipment, consumables, and diagnostic instruments across 19 product categories — anaesthesia, cardiology, critical care, diabetes, emergency, enteral feeding, ENT, scientific/food safety, interventional radiology, laboratory diagnostics, medical consumables, ophthalmic, PPE, regenerative medicine, respiratory, surgical instruments, sterile services, surgical, and wound care — serving hospitals, clinics, specialist practices, private laboratories, food and beverage manufacturers, and scientific facilities.

The core offering is third-party brand distribution: InterMed is the authorized NZ distributor for global principals including Medtronic (MiniMed insulin pumps and CGM), SCHILLER (cardiopulmonary diagnostics), Hamilton Medical (ventilators and HF90 high-flow oxygen therapy), B. Braun (ostomy and wound care), Olympus (surgical energy), Solventum/3M (NPWT), Getinge (OR and sterile reprocessing), Mentor (breast implants), and dozens of others. Proprietary assets include the MED-X PPE sub-brand and the InterMed Scientific food-safety division; the company is sole NZ distributor for Hawo heat-sealing equipment sales and servicing, and exclusive NZ distributor for asap skincare.

The business model is B2B hardware and consumables distribution. Go-to-market combines a direct field sales force (product specialists and business development managers) with e-commerce storefronts for diabetes accessories and scientific products, plus phone/email ordering. Pricing is predominantly quote-based for medical devices, with publicly listed unit pricing only on scientific consumables and select diabetes accessories. Products integrate with vendor clinical software (Medtronic CareLink, SCHILLER SEMA/SentioWeb, EOVE Clinical Software) for data capture but InterMed does not own these platforms. The Australian entity has operated since the 2013 expansion, and the company recently completed an undisclosed large acquisition that prompted a finance leadership transition.
