What Hospimed does

Hospimed GmbH is a privately held Swiss medical technology company headquartered in Dübendorf, near Zürich, with approximately 11-50 employees and over 38 years of operating history in the Swiss healthcare market. The company distributes and supplies medical furniture, patient transport equipment, medical lighting, and storage/logistics systems to medical practices, specialty clinics, day clinics, operating rooms, and care facilities across Switzerland. Its portfolio is anchored by exclusive Swiss distribution rights to established European manufacturers — including Novak M (examination tables and treatment chairs, partnership extended through 2026), Medifa (gynecology/urology/proctology chairs in German-speaking Switzerland as of March 2026), ZARGES (sterile goods logistics, MPO carts, modular shelving), Dr. Mach (LED examination and operating lights), Insausti (care carts), and GEBS (neonatal furniture) — supplemented by the proprietary Mehrzweckboy multi-purpose cart developed in-house.

The business operates a dual go-to-market model: enterprise field sales with experienced technicians handling consultation, planning, delivery, assembly, installation, and commissioning for hospitals and larger practices; and an e-commerce storefront (shop.hospimed.ch) for SMB and individual buyers, with quote-based pricing in CHF and a 50% deposit requirement for online orders. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (treatment tables, examination chairs, patient stretchers, medical lighting, storage systems) and secondarily through technical services (maintenance, repair, assembly, quality control). Recent product launches in 2024-2025 — including the fully electric Stretcher X2, Novak M OP-Tisch Y operating table, SALVA care and transport chair, Dr. Mach battery examination light, and stainless-steel disposal and suction equipment — demonstrate ongoing portfolio refresh, while a published Design Award for the ZARGES MPO supply cart underscores brand positioning around hygiene, ergonomics, and Swiss quality standards.
