What MEDITECH Sachsen does

MEDITECH Sachsen GmbH is a German medical supply and healthcare services operator headquartered in Pulsnitz, Saxony. Founded in 1992 by Maik Lange and reorganized through a 2008 merger with Orthopädieschuhtechnik Karsten Leonhardt, the company today operates 29 Sanitätshaus (medical supply retail) locations across Saxony and Brandenburg with 300+ employees. The current leadership consists of co-managing directors Dirk Rauchfuß and Karsten Leonhardt, and the company has been part of the Auxilium Gruppe holding network since 2016.

The company runs a multi-vertical portfolio spanning Sanitätshaus retail (compression, bandages, orthoses, mobility aids, incontinence, wound care), HomeCare services, custom Orthopädietechnik (prosthetics, orthotics, corsets), Orthopädieschuhtechnik (custom footwear and insoles), Medizintechnik (equipment sales, installation, and MPBetreibV-compliant technical device management), Kinderorthopädie/Kinderreha, Praxisplanung (medical practice design), and its own therapy couch production at Großröhrsdorf. Supporting capabilities include the ZTO (Zentrum für technische Orthopädie) in Dresden, Bodytronic 600/400 and JOBST LEXpert 360 contact-free measurement systems, and the MEDITECH Sachsen Akademie for professional training. A compliance function covers MPBetreibV and BFSG/BITV 2.0 accessibility requirements.

Revenue is generated primarily through German statutory health and long-term care insurance reimbursement for medical aids, with a standard 10% statutory co-payment (€5–€10) per aid and optional economic surcharges for premium upgrades. The company serves both B2C patients and relatives through walk-in retail, online appointment booking, and an online prescription upload portal, and B2B institutional customers (hospitals, nursing homes, intensive care services, medical practices) through dedicated field sales and key account management. Supplementary revenue streams include SMINA Pflegebox subscription deliveries, Akademie seminar fees (€25–€149 per attendee), and SME e-commerce via meditech24.de and meditech24.shop.
