What AndraTec does
AndraTec GmbH is a privately held German medical device manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered in Koblenz, Germany. The company designs, develops, and distributes minimally invasive interventional cardiovascular devices used by interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons in hospitals and catheterization laboratories for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease, bifurcation lesions, aneurysms, and Type B dissections. Its core technology rests on six product lines: Optimus XL CoCr stents (hybrid cell design in bare and PTFE-covered versions), AltoSa XL PTA balloons (including GEMINI, SFT and Premier HP variants), the PiLLaR bifurcation reconstruction stent, the Exeter nitinol retrieval snare, the Pillow AAA / Type B dissection occluder, and Lokum guide wires. The portfolio is underpinned by exclusive patents transferred in by partner Dr. Malte Neuss (Exeter Snare, Optimus Stent) and concepts from Dr. Jay Pillay (Pillar and Pillow).
AndraTec generates revenue through one-time hardware sales of its proprietary CE-marked devices, sold either directly to healthcare providers or through international distributors under the AndraTec brand, with distribution reach spanning at least Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Egypt, South Africa and Iran. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through sales relationships rather than published list pricing. The company is quality-system certified to ISO 13485, ISO 9001 and EN 46001, and was recognized by the German Ministry of Health in Bonn in 2015 as highly innovative and GMP-compliant. The lead regulatory events are the 2014 CE marks for BTK PTA balloons and retrieval devices, the mid-2015 AltoSa balloon approvals, and the May 2020 Optimus XL CoCr and Optimus CVS PTFE-covered stent approvals.
The company remains small (1-10 employees) and founder/partner-owned, with leadership anchored by CEO Andreas Kohl (ex-Cordis Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Vascular), CTO Gunter Kohl, Head of Operations Michael Pinger, International Relations lead Theo van de Kerkhof, and partners Dr. Malte Neuss and Dijana Mahmic. Go-to-market is anchored on direct sales to clinicians and hospitals, supplemented by industry-conference presence at LINC, CIRSE, PCR, CSI, Charing Cross, IPC and Veith. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, parent-company structure, or revenue figures have been disclosed.
