What Admeco does

ADMECO AG is a Swiss medical infrastructure manufacturer headquartered in Hochdorf, Canton of Lucerne, specializing in integrated operating theatre (OT) equipment. Founded in 1980 and operating as a subsidiary of the SCHAKO Group since January 1, 2020, the company designs and manufactures three coordinated product lines unified under the "AREA" concept: AIR (laminar flow and supply air ceiling systems including ULD recirculation, FFD supply, and ULG turbulent mixed flow units), LUX (LED surgical lights, notably the SOL20 premium line with adjustable color temperature and optional HD camera), and MED (modular energy and media supply bridges in 1- to 4-sided configurations). The combined AREA offering is positioned as a single-source wall-to-wall OT solution with millimetric integration, targeting acute care hospitals, private clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialist medical practices in the DACH region with selected references in France.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based B2B hardware sales of high-value capital equipment, won via direct enterprise engagement, hospital tenders, and technical specifications. This is supplemented by in-house installation, commissioning, and user-training services delivered by dedicated assembly teams, plus a recurring service stream comprising annual maintenance contracts covering particle counting, air velocity, temperature, humidity, and acoustic pressure measurements. Customers include named institutions such as St. Josefskrankenhaus Freiburg, Euregio Klinik Nordhorn, Hirslanden's Privatklinik Linde in Biel, Clinique CIC Riviera in Clarens, Centre Médico-Chirurgical Nyon, and Clinique d'Occitanie in Muret, indicating a distributed footprint across Switzerland, Germany, and France. With 11-50 employees, ADMECO operates as a focused niche specialist within the broader SCHAKO ventilation and air conditioning group.
