What Vetinox does

Vetinox (legally SAS Vetinox) is a French manufacturer of stainless steel veterinary equipment, founded in 1984 in Néris les Bains, France, and registered in Montluçon. The company produces a broad catalogue of veterinary cages, examination/surgery/radiology/farm-animal tables, modular walk-in kennels, and clinic furniture, with three branded sub-lines: ELITE premium tables carrying a 10-year warranty, VETI-BOX modular kennel systems, and POLYVET 'Cat Friendly' polyester cages. Manufacturing is fully in-house at the Néris les Bains factory, where the company cuts, bends, and welds stainless steel to produce both standard catalog items and fully bespoke ('sur mesure') configurations tailored to specific clinic floorplans.

Vetinox operates an indirect, distributor-only go-to-market model: products are sold exclusively through a network of specialized veterinary equipment wholesalers — Alcyon, Centravet, Coveto, and Animals Concept — who handle customer relationships, quoting, and installation. Vetinox supports these distributors by jointly studying optimal equipment layouts for end customers. End customers are veterinary practices and clinics (primary), veterinary schools, and veterinary laboratories, across small and large animal segments. Revenue is generated through hardware sales; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to distributors for quotes. The company carries 'Fabricant Français' certification and offers a 5-year anti-corrosion warranty on standard products (10 years on ELITE), 2-year coverage on electrical components, and 1-year on batteries.

The business is a privately held SAS with share capital of €300,000 and no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Digital presence is limited to a multilingual website (French, English, Spanish, German) and social profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The publishing director is Françoise Meunier. Operating geographies are concentrated in France, with the multilingual site signaling limited international outreach beyond the core French distributor channel.
