HINZ Fabrik

What HINZ Fabrik does

HINZ Fabrik GmbH is a privately-held Berlin-based manufacturer founded in 1884, operating under the historical identity "Organisation im Gesundheitswesen" and specializing in customized organizational and mobility solutions for the healthcare sector. The company designs and produces four integrated product families: (1) IT-Wagen (mobile IT workstations equipped with medical-grade All-in-One PCs featuring hot-swappable DR202 lithium-ion batteries, IP65-protected fronts, and antimicrobial housings reducing bacteria by 99.9% within 24 hours per DIN 22196), (2) Wagen (a modular range of care, visit, medication, emergency, hygiene, file, and service carts including the 2024-launched system5.0 series), (3) Doku-Systeme (documentation folders, boards, view panels, and transport boxes), and (4) Formulare (healthcare-specific printed forms including PPR 2.0 nursing documentation and BLACKOUT emergency-operation documentation). Manufacturing is conducted at the Lankwitzer Straße facility in southern Berlin using Industry 4.0 processes that enable "Individualität ab dem 1. Stück" — individual customization from single units to small series — backed by a 60-month warranty.

The business model combines one-time license sales of customized hardware and printed materials with a thin recurring revenue layer (€9.90/year per cart annual service package including on-site systems backup). Go-to-market is hybrid: direct regional sales representatives cover Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Czech Republic for customized enterprise solutions; an e-commerce web shop handles standardized accessories, forms, and laundry collectors; and partnerships with healthcare purchasing cooperatives (Einkaufsgenossenschaften) provide channel access to enterprise procurement. The customer base is concentrated in three verticals — hospitals/clinics, nursing/care homes, and hospices — served by an integrated technology stack assembled through core partnerships with francehopital (channel: Italian medical logistics trolleys) and lean medical (technology: 230V LiFePO4 mobile power), plus integrations with DT Research, IEI, and Blickle/ErgoMove. The company also operates a separate HINZ Fabrik furniture carpentry division producing custom kitchens, cabinets, and built-in furniture.

HINZ holds ISO 9001 and GDI data protection certifications and reports no external parent, funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available data. The company has 101–250 employees, no disclosed financials, no AI/ML product capabilities, and an active 2024 product-launch cadence (system5.0, BLACKOUT, 230V power supply) alongside a 140-year jubilee branding refresh.
