Al Shoumoukh Medical Co.

What Al Shoumoukh Medical Co. does

Al Shoumoukh Medical Co. (DBA ASTEMED) is a privately held Saudi medical device distributor founded in October 2009 and headquartered in Riyadh, with branch offices in Dammam and Jeddah and agency relationships across other GCC markets. The company distributes products from 25+ international manufacturers across multiple healthcare solution categories, including Point of Care Testing, Patient Temperature Management, Neurointerventional Radiology, Radiation Safety Apparel, Sterilization Devices, Disposable Medical and Lab Supplies, and Medical Equipment and Furniture. Featured diagnostic instruments include the RAMP 200, CASCADE ABRAZO, and COAG-SENSE PT2 systems.

The firm operates an authorized-agency distribution model, earning revenue through product resale and likely agency commissions on public and private healthcare tenders. It is certified to ISO 13485:2016 (medical device QMS), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, and serves a customer base that includes marquee Saudi public-sector buyers — NUPCO, the Ministry of Health, King Faisal Specialist Hospital, King Saud Medical City, Johns Hopkins Aramco, National Guard Health Affairs, and Armed Forces Hospital — alongside private hospitals and universities. The organization is small (6 employees) and recently extended into a Dental Services clinical vertical beyond pure distribution, signaling a measured pivot toward service-based revenue.
