Medplan Engineering

What Medplan Engineering does

MedPlan Engineering AG is a Swiss specialized engineering consultancy founded in 2004 in Schaffhausen, focused on planning and realizing healthcare construction projects worldwide. Its core offering covers hospital planning, operating room (OR) design, cleanroom and laboratory construction, medical technology integration, and turnkey project realization for healthcare facilities. The firm has designed and installed more than 200 operating rooms since 2005 across 18+ countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America.

The company's technical stack centers on integrated operating room systems, with a deep partnership with KARL STORZ for OR1 installations (SCB Communication Bus, SCB-Media Control) and proprietary interior finishing solutions including RGB glass and HPL wall systems. Its MedSimulation tool provides process simulation and workflow optimization for healthcare facility layouts. MedPlan also develops custom furniture and modular wall/ceiling components for healthcare environments.

Commercially, MedPlan operates an enterprise field-sales motion, engaging directly with hospital administrators, architects, and government health ministries on major capital projects. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts billed as project-based fees, with individual project values ranging from €0.15M (single OR installations) to €350M (full hospital construction programs). The customer base consists entirely of enterprise healthcare buyers — public hospitals, private clinics, and government-backed medical cities — and distribution is direct rather than channel-based. Operational footprint is anchored at the Schaffhausen headquarters with a regional office and showroom in Moscow.
