What Habel Medizintechnik does

Habel Medizintechnik (legal entity Hellmut Habel Gesellschaft m.b.H.) is a third-generation, family-owned Austrian medical technology company founded in 1952 and headquartered at Ignaz-Köck-Straße 20, 1210 Vienna. The company operates in two principal segments: a Clinic/Klinik business that distributes medical equipment and consumables (infusion technology, anesthesia monitoring, fetal monitoring, diagnostic ECG, sleep diagnostics, ventilation, high-flow therapy, secretion management, FeNO measurement, air disinfection, and a broad consumables range for bronchoscopy, airway management, anesthesia, oxygen/aerosol therapy, and patient safety) to hospitals and clinics across Austria; and a Homecare business that delivers recurring respiratory therapy services and devices (sleep apnea CPAP therapy, oxygen therapy via portable and stationary concentrators, home ventilation, secretion mobilization with devices such as Simeox, and ambulatory infusion therapy) to patients through a network of six Atemzentren (breathing centers) in Vienna, Linz, Wels, Graz, Salzburg, and Innsbruck plus a mobile service unit.

The company's product offering is built on long-standing distribution partnerships with global respiratory and medical device OEMs including ResMed, Philips, Fisher & Paykel, Inogen, Löwenstein Medical, Fresenius Kabi, Intersurgical, Convatec, VBM Medical, ZOLL, and others. Recent portfolio rollouts span the ResMed AirSense 11 AutoCPAP (2022-12), ResMed AirFit F40 QuietAir (2024-07), Inogen Rove 4 mobile oxygen concentrator (2025-04), and forthcoming ResMed AirTouch N30i (2026-06), alongside the legacy Hico Climamask franchise which has sold over 140,000 units since 1960. The company also runs the HABEL training forum, including an annual intensive care meeting drawing over 450 participants.

Commercially, Habel generates revenue through two streams: one-time equipment and consumables sales to hospitals and clinics (B2B), and recurring homecare therapy products and services to patients (subscription-like). It operates a sales-led direct sales motion to hospitals combined with direct-to-consumer homecare delivery through Atemzentren, mobile service, and a B2C online shop (habel-shop.at). The company holds medical device trading, chemical trading, and mechatronics licenses, is registered with the Federal Ministry for Health and Women, and is wholly owned by the Habel family with no external investment, employing more than 60 people across headquarters and additional facilities.
