What Pier Kemper does

Pierenkemper GmbH, operating under the brand Pier Kemper, is a German medical technology company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Ehringshausen. The company develops and produces programmable electrical medical systems (PEMS), medical devices, and related assemblies under EN ISO 13485:2016 and EU Directive 93/42/EEC quality frameworks, with 40+ years of certified production history. Its core competency spans the full development lifecycle — hardware, firmware, software, PCB design, regulatory documentation, and cleanroom manufacturing — serving both its own branded product line and contract development/manufacturing clients (OEM services).

The company's primary product is CURDTI (Customized Remote Digital Training Initiative), an app-based remote health training platform built per IEC 62304 medical device software standard and DSGVO-compliant, featuring a cloud-based REST backend with JWT authentication, QR-code user login, and real-time coaching capabilities. Beyond CURDTI, Pierenkemper sells certified medical devices based on clinically recognized physical and naturopathic procedures. The company monetizes through four streams: medical device sales (one-time), contract development services, contract manufacturing, and the CURDTI subscription platform.

Distribution is dual-channel: specialized medical trade dealers (Fachhändler) for the clinical segment, and direct e-commerce sales via the company website for end consumers and SMB trainers. Customer segments span medical and physiotherapy practices, fitness and EMS studios, personal trainers, hotels, and sun studios. Operations are managed by Geschäftsführer Andreas Hubert and Michael Vieth, with logistics supported through a partnership with Schwa-Medico. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
