What Hersill does

Hersill (legal name: HERSILL, S.L.) is a privately held, family-owned Spanish medical equipment manufacturer founded in Madrid on 22 February 1973 by Benjamín Herranz Escamilla and currently led by second-generation President Benjamín Herranz Jordán. The company designs, manufactures, and sells CE-marked and FDA-registered electromedical devices across five product categories: anesthesia workstations (GENESIS), transport and emergency ventilation (VITAE series), oxygen therapy and respiratory monitoring (OXYMO, OXYLL, PERFLOW), medical suction (VACUSILL, V7, EUROVAC), and emergency/rescue equipment (OXIVAC, REVIVATOR, INGAS). Core technology spans pneumatic and electronic lung ventilators, electronic oxygen economizers with demand-triggered bolus delivery, intelligent gas cylinder management systems for ambulances, and high-vacuum portable suction pumps. The R&D+I department integrates engineers with practicing physicians and maintains collaboration agreements with hospitals and universities.

The business operates a direct B2B sales model through its own commercial teams and a global network of expert representatives in over 100 countries, with approximately 70% of production exported. No public pricing is disclosed; sales are quotation-based with multi-year contract cadence typical of capital medical equipment. The customer base spans hospitals and surgical centers, emergency medical services and ambulance providers, home healthcare providers, and international medical equipment distributors. Key certifications include ISO 13485, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE marking (Notified Body 0051), and FDA 510(k) clearances for V7 (K093241) and REVIVATOR (K094003). The company scaled VITAE 40 ventilator production to 5,000 units during the COVID-19 pandemic exclusively for the Spanish Ministry of Health and Servicio Madrileño de Salud, an effort recognized by the Real Academia de Ingeniería's Premio Academiae Dilecta 2021.

The firm's operational footprint is a 6,000 m² combined headquarters, manufacturing plant, and R&D facility in Móstoles, Madrid, supported by an export department and digital marketing presence across LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Pinterest. Hersill has remained independently and family-owned throughout its 50-year history with no disclosed external institutional investors, acquisitions, or public-market activity. Revenue, funding history, and headcount beyond a stated 11–50 employee range are not publicly disclosed.

• Fundación RecoverminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerHersill financed a project supporting prenatal consultations at the CSI Mère Nazaria de Bamendjou health center in Cameroon, through the Fundación Recover Hospitals for Africa program. The collaboration aimed to reduce maternal and child mortality rates (over 500 deaths per 100,000 live births in Cameroon) by providing medical equipment and partially subsidizing tests, delivery, and third-trimester ultrasounds for pregnant women.
• Escribano Mechanical & EngineeringcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Industry connected Hersill with Escribano Mechanical & Engineering to increase manufacturing capacity for VITAE 40 ventilators. Escribano provided precision machining capabilities and assembly staff who worked on-site at Hersill's Móstoles facility. Escribano was also the depository of an ICO (Instituto de Crédito Oficial) loan provided to Hersill for paying suppliers of materials and components.
• Hospitals and Universities (R&D Collaboration)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerHersill's R&D+I department maintains collaboration agreements with hospitals and universities for technology development, testing, and clinical input. The multidisciplinary R&D team includes engineers and doctors working jointly on new product development.
