What Angiopro does

Angiopro GmbH is a privately held, family-run medical device distribution and consulting company headquartered in Speyer, Germany. Founded in 1999 by CEO Hanns-Joachim Rieck, the firm operates as a classical distributor and importer under Article 2 No. 33 & 34 of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), with a portfolio of innovative cardiovascular devices including structural heart implants (Nit-Occlud PFO occluder, DynamX Coronary Bioadaptor), coronary intervention devices (LithiX IVL balloon catheter), PTCA/PTA balloon dilatation catheters (Simvalve Force/Flex, the Simpass family), vascular stents (AndraStent Aortic XL/XXL), vascular rescue devices (AndraSnare), and inflation accessories. Angiopro also distributes a Health IT sub-portfolio (3mensio, CAAS, Ventripoint VMS+, Kinepict) targeted at cardiovascular imaging and procedure planning.

The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and a pharmaceutical wholesale permit, and all of its employees are certified medical product consultants under § 31 MPG. Its end customers are hospitals, clinics, and specialists in cardiovascular and vascular medicine; its terms of business are restricted to entrepreneurs and public-law legal entities under § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), and the company sells exclusively through direct field sales and exclusive distribution agreements, with no public pricing.

Angiopro's go-to-market is exclusively B2B and channel-based. Beyond its long-standing German DACH distribution footprint, the firm has in 2025-2026 expanded its European reach through a letter of intent with Profusa Inc. to commercialize the Lumee Oxygen platform across Germany, Benelux, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia (together covering roughly 35% of the EU population), and through a Germany distribution partnership with Ventripoint Diagnostics for the VMS+ cardiac imaging technology. A complementary distribution partnership with Dismeval extends Profusa's coverage into roughly 35% of the European critical limb-threatening ischemia procedure market. The company is family-controlled by Hanns-Joachim Rieck and Benjamin Rieck, with no disclosed external institutional investment, venture capital, or private equity backing.

Broad incumbents

• Penumbra Inc. US-based vascular thrombectomy and embolization device manufacturer with EU distribution - competes in adjacent interventional vascular categories Angiopro covers and engages similar cardiovascular call points in EU hospitals.
• BIOTRONIK: Leading German manufacturer of pacemakers, ICDs, stents, and vascular intervention devices with deep cardiovascular hospital relationships in DACH - comparable to Angiopro in cardiovascular category and DACH market, but BIOTRONIK is the OEM rather than a distributor.
• Maquet / Getinge Vascular Systems: European cardiovascular and vascular surgery systems manufacturer with strong DACH presence - directly comparable in delivering devices used in cardiac and vascular surgery operating rooms and cath labs where Angiopro's call points sit.
• Teleflex / Vascular Solutions: Global interventional cardiology and vascular access device manufacturer (acquired Vascular Solutions) - directly comparable in coronary and peripheral intervention device categories distributed by Angiopro and in European cardiovascular hospital channel access.
• Abbott Vascular (Abbott): Global cardiovascular device manufacturer covering coronary (Xience stents, Dragonfly IVL), structural heart, and endovascular categories - directly competes with the same product categories Angiopro distributes (coronary stents, IVL, PFO occluders) and has European direct sales forces overlapping Angiopro's target hospitals.
• Asahi Intecc: Japanese manufacturer and European distributor of guidewires, catheters, and peripheral/coronary intervention devices with strong DACH sales presence via Asahi Intecc Deutschland - comparable portfolio overlap with Angiopro's PTA/PTCA and vascular access products, but operates as OEM.

Direct peers

• Inspira Med GmbH: Austrian/German specialty distributor of innovative interventional cardiology and radiology devices serving DACH hospitals - directly comparable niche position as a German-language specialty cardiovascular distributor working via OEM partnerships.
• Medi-Globe Group: German-based specialty medical device developer and distributor focused on minimally invasive therapies, serving interventionalists across Europe - directly comparable in being a German-rooted specialty distributor serving cardiovascular and endoscopy interventional cardiology call points.
• AndraTec (Andramed / Andratec): German specialty medical device company focused on innovative cardiovascular products (AndraStent, AndraSnare, AndraBalloon - the very brand family Angiopro distributes) - the upstream OEM and direct comparable in product niche and German cardiovascular specialty sales model.
