What GaleMed does
GaleMed Corporation is a Taiwan-headquartered manufacturer of respiratory-care medical devices founded in 1986 (originally as Formosa-CJ Health Business Corporation, renamed in 1995). The company develops, produces, and distributes more than 5,000 SKUs spanning airway management, patient interfaces, breathing circuits, humidification systems, filters, and accessory components, selling to hospitals, medical centers, home-care providers, veterinary clinics, and OEM medical-device manufacturers in over 100 countries. Operations are anchored by an International Sales Headquarters in Taipei, a primary manufacturing plant in Yilan, Taiwan, and two production/distribution sites in Xiamen, China (GaleMed (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. and Aplus (Xiamen) Medical Supply Co., Ltd.), employing 650+ people across four Asian facilities. Capital structure is private — employee-owned since 2005 — with growth capital from Nexus Point Capital (2019) and a newly appointed CEO, Thomas Willemsen (April 2024), recruited from senior roles at GSK China, Takeda APAC, and Merck KGaA.
The company operates a dual business model combining own-brand manufacturing (OBM) with OEM/ODM contract manufacturing. Proprietary sub-brands include Babi.Plus for neonatal respiratory care (anchored by the FDA 510K-cleared nBubble PAP Valve), DeZire for sleep-therapy masks, Humi.AIDE for heated humidification, Oxi.Plus for oxygen therapy, Dofin for aerosol/breathing training, GiO for digital manometry, and GaleVet for veterinary applications. The OEM/ODM business provides full-cycle services — product development (3D modeling, FMEA, risk-free design), molding of silicone/polysulfone/polycarbonate/PVC, assembly, clean room packaging (10,000 and 100,000 class), quality control, warehousing, and supply of 1,000+ individual components — to world-class medical device companies that rebrand or co-brand these products.
GaleMed generates revenue through hardware sales of branded respiratory devices, OEM/ODM manufacturing services, and component supply, with pricing not publicly disclosed and conducted via quote-based B2B engagement. Go-to-market relies on three motions: a global distributor and subsidiary network (100+ countries), direct OEM/ODM partnerships, and regional enterprise sales from Taipei; the company also attends MEDICA and other industry conferences and operates multi-language websites with digital catalogs. Regulatory moat is the defining asset — EU MDR certification covers 2,100+ product combinations across the Yilan (Class I/Im/IIa) and Xiamen (Class IIa) factories and 40+ EMDN codes, supplemented by FDA 510K clearances, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, MDSAP (September 2025), and country-level registrations in Japan, Korea, Taiwan (TFDA), and Mainland China (NMPA, valid through 2030). Recently added ISCC PLUS certification (March 2026) underpins the BioVent-Circuit™ launch at MEDICA 2025, signaling a move into sustainable, plasticizer-free bioplastic consumables.
