Lopital

What Lopital does

Lopital Nederland B.V. is a Dutch specialist manufacturer of medical aids and ergonomic equipment designed to reduce physical strain on healthcare workers during patient transfers, bathing, and daily care tasks. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Oisterwijk, the company sells a comprehensive, integrated product ecosystem spanning shower and toilet chairs (Flexo, Reflex, Elexo), mobile patient lifts (Viking M/L/XL, Golvo, Sabina standing aid), ceiling-mounted lift systems (Luna X5, LikoGuard, LikoRall, Multirall) including free-standing FreeSpan rails, care baths (Bathaid Premium and Premium Plus with air massage, aromatherapy, and chromotherapy), a full range of slings and accessories (including bariatric and disposable variants), and weighing equipment (Likoscale up to 400 kg). The portfolio is deliberately cross-compatible — lifts, slings, scales, and yokes are designed to work together — allowing care facilities to standardize on a single vendor across their equipment fleet.

The company operates a sales-led, quote-based B2B model targeting healthcare organizations, hospitals, and care homes across at least nine countries (Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the US) supported by seven country-specific localized websites. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales, supplemented by a service and maintenance offering that includes a digital service portal and a dedicated spare-parts subsidiary (Lopitalspareparts.nl). The "Samen Vitaal" advisory program extends the offering beyond equipment into organizational consulting to reduce caregiver sick leave and workload. The company is privately held as a Dutch B.V. (besloten vennootschap), employs 11–50 people, and shows no evidence of external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity in the source data. GDPR compliance is confirmed; broader medical device regulatory compliance (CE marking under MDR) is implied but not explicitly disclosed in the input.
