Endoshop

What Endoshop does

Endoshop (legal entity Merkean Medical S.A.P.I. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican distributor of demo and certified pre-owned endoscopy equipment, headquartered in Querétaro with a registered address in Naucalpan, Estado de México. The company sells and leases video endoscopes (colonoscopes, gastroscopes, duodenoscopes, panendoscopes), image processors (Olympus CV-140 to CV-190, Pentax EPK, Fujifilm ELUXEO), medical monitors, endoscopy tower systems, electrosurgery units (ERBE), and manometry/pHmetry diagnostic equipment sourced from major brands including Olympus, Pentax, Fujifilm, Karl Storz, Sony, and Erbe. All units are inspected by qualified engineers and warranted to meet manufacturer specifications, with a 12-month written warranty offered.

The business operates a sales-led, B2B distribution model with quote-based pricing (no public price list), targeting endoscopists, gastroenterologists, clinics, and hospitals across Mexico. Its GTM relies on direct outreach via website, phone, and WhatsApp, supplemented by a physical showroom opened in Querétaro in November 2022. Endoshop also originates equipment financing and pure leasing (arrendamiento puro) through partner financial institutions, leveraging 10+ years of credit-origination experience inherited from its originator, Nexus Capital (formerly MEDICAP), which has executed over 1,000 contracts across all 32 Mexican states and 110+ municipalities since 2010.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, financing/lease origination, and preventive/corrective maintenance services using original spare parts and a network of brand-certified biomedical engineers. The company is family-controlled (Iñigo González de Cosio as Director General) with no external PE/VC backing disclosed. In November 2023 Endoshop extended its model into veterinary medicine via the EndoshopVet sub-brand, offering new endoscopy equipment for small and large animal species. Headcount is approximately 9 employees.
