Mediwar Medical Technology

What Mediwar Medical Technology does

Mediwar Medical Technology (legal entity: mediwar ag) is a privately held Swiss medical technology distributor and service provider founded in 1965 in Zurich and headquartered since 2009 in Muri AG. The company sells medical equipment, surgical instruments, and furniture to hospitals, day clinics, and private medical practices across German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino, while also offering manufacturer-certified installation, preventive maintenance, and repair through its in-house Mediwar Technical Center (MTC). Its product portfolio spans examination chairs, operating tables, surgical lighting, sterilization equipment, surgical instruments across multiple specialties, and the kINPen® MED — a CE-certified Class IIa atmospheric cold plasma jet for wound treatment, distributed exclusively in Switzerland under a partnership with German manufacturer neoplas med.

The company operates a consultative, project-based go-to-market model. External field sales representatives (Aussendienst) provide needs assessment and project management for hospitals and large clinics, while an internal sales team handles smaller practices, after-sales inquiries, and spare parts. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales, professional services (project management and consulting), and certified maintenance/repair contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the kINPen® MED is reimbursable under the Swiss TARDOC tariff for complex wound treatment.

Mediwar holds ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications (valid through September 2027) and operates with approximately 18–20 employees including a field sales team, internal sales, logistics, and certified technicians. The company is managed by Felicity Bechinger (Geschäftsleitung) and works with a multi-manufacturer supplier portfolio of more than 20 brands including Allen, Baxter, KLS Martin, medifa, and Linet. No external funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investors have been disclosed.
