Kirchheim-Verlag

What Kirchheim-Verlag does

MedTriX Group is a DACH-region B2B medical media house operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Süddeutscher Verlag Hüthig Fachinformationen GmbH (Munich), itself part of the Süddeutscher Verlag publishing group. The company employs more than 250 people across six offices in Munich, Landsberg, Regensburg, Wiesbaden, Vienna, and Basel. Its core function is publishing medical content for healthcare professionals — physicians (general practitioners, internists, and specialists in diabetology, nephrology, oncology, pediatrics, and hematology), medical assistants / practice teams, and dental practitioners — across an integrated three-dimension platform: Digital (websites, audio, video, XR), Live (analog and digital CME continuing education, streams, virtual networking), and Print (flagship titles Medical Tribune, ARZT & WIRTSCHAFT, recall, MediTeam). It also operates the d+o GmbH subsidiary, a data specialist focused on HCP target-group identification, CRM data quality, and healthcare market knowledge.

The underlying technology stack combines a multi-format content production system with a CRM-backed audience-data layer (d+o) and XR-enabled interactive visualizations. Distribution is hybrid: print subscriptions, self-serve digital platforms, in-person and digital CME events, and a podcast (Medizin trifft Zahnmedizin) that won three Dental Marketing Awards in 2025. ARZT & WIRTSCHAFT ranked 2nd in the LA-MED 2025 API study.

The revenue model is diversified across four streams — print subscriptions/advertising, digital advertising and sponsored content, live CME event fees and sponsorships, and data services via d+o — all described as recurring/subscription-based. The company sells against a fragmented advertiser base (pharma, medtech, practice-services vendors) rather than named anchor accounts, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach is limited to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with no disclosed expansion beyond DACH.
