Oxylitre

What Oxylitre does

Oxylitre is a UK-based designer, manufacturer, and servicer of medical gas therapy equipment, operating under the holding company Oxylitre Holdings Limited (formed in December 2017) with three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Oxylitre Ltd (core manufacturing, est. 1961), Oxylitre (Medical Services) Ltd (UK service operations, est. 1987), and Paramount Electroplating Ltd (specialist metal finishing, est. 1996). The company is headquartered in Manchester and is led by Group Managing Director Tony Bell. Its product portfolio spans medical regulators (for 138 Bar and 200 Bar cylinders), pipeline flowmeters, pipeline and portable suction equipment, patient transfer injector suction, Entonox pain relief demand units and oxygen demand units, ambulance EMS piped gas systems with manual/automatic/real-time cylinder change-over and line pressure warning systems, hose assemblies, cylinder accessories, medical rail systems, and Accoson-branded sphygmomanometers. All standard products carry a 7-year manufacturer warranty and are designed for a minimum 10-year operational lifetime, with comprehensive CE marking, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 13485:2016 certifications.

The company's revenue model is built on three streams: one-time hardware sales of medical devices (with accessories and consumables), a new-for-old service exchange scheme (UK only, accepting competitor products on extended 7-year warranty terms), and professional services revenue through on-site and in-house servicing, repairs, and tiered maintenance contracts (PPM, FCC, FMS). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: a UK enterprise field sales operation targeting NHS hospitals, private hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, hospices, EMS/ambulance services, and veterinary practices, supplemented by a national field engineer service network. Internationally, Oxylitre exports to over 60 countries across five continents via a dedicated international sales team that provides technical support and customs documentation, with all equipment available for export under UK Export Commodity codes.
