Schmitz Medizintechnik

What Schmitz Medizintechnik does

Schmitz Medizintechnik, legally operated as the sole proprietorship "Tina Schmitz Medizintechnik" under owner Tina Austen-Schmitz, is a German online specialist retailer (Online-Fachhändler) of medical technology, emergency rescue, and firefighting equipment, headquartered in Großkarolinenfeld, Bavaria. Founded in 2004 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company runs a single sales channel via a Gambio-based e-commerce storefront at schmitz-medizintechnik.de, distributing products from at least twelve manufacturers including Setolite, Laerdal, Ambu, seca, ADE, Welch Allyn/Hillrom, Sony Medical, KERN, and Soehnle. The catalog spans approximately twenty core product categories covering medical ventilation, AED/defibrillation, diagnostic devices, X-ray and ultrasound equipment with accessories, laryngoscopes and intubation sets, evacuation chairs and mattresses, medical scales (including Class III calibrated and EMR-integrated models), rescue and immobilization equipment, CPR training mannequins, firefighting equipment, and civil protection / MANV supplies.

The business model is straightforward multi-brand hardware resale: revenue is generated through unit-level product margins on transactional sales, with prices ranging from €85 (disposable eye protection) to €3,482 (Setolite Aldebaran 360° FLEX-C LED 960), all inclusive of 19% German VAT, plus a €7.50 flat shipping fee (€30 surcharge for oversized goods) and a €50 minimum order. The company pursues a hybrid go-to-market motion: B2B institutional buyers including hospitals, doctors' practices, fire departments, emergency medical services, nursing care facilities, cities, municipalities, and public authorities receive invoice payment terms, while other buyers transact via prepayment or PayPal. Technical credibility is anchored in the owner's credentials as a state-certified medical technology engineer and medical products consultant, paramedic, and communications electronics technician, which underpins consultation-led support for institutional procurement.
