What MEDICOM SAS does

MEDICOM SAS is a privately held French manufacturer (Société par Actions Simplifiée) headquartered in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, France, with stated origins dating back over a century. The company designs, manufactures, and commercializes single-use personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical consumables across five end-markets: medical/healthcare, industrial, dental, life sciences, and hygiene/food processing. Its product portfolio is organized under multiple sub-brands (KOLMI, HOPEN, WEESAFE, SafeMask, Coverfeel, SafeTouch, Pureflex, SafeBasics, WeePro, Oxygen, Softpore, Dry-Back, Softex) covering surgical and FFP2/FFP3 respirator masks, examination and protective gloves in nitrile, latex, vinyl, and TPE, single-use gowns and coveralls, bouffant caps, shoe covers, dental bibs, sterilization products, and disinfection solutions.

The company operates two production facilities in France: its long-standing Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou headquarters focused on respiratory protection and PPE, and the ManiKHeir facility in Bessé-sur-Braye (established 2021), which is dedicated to nitrile glove production at a stated capacity of up to 1 billion gloves per year. Manufacturing is differentiated by proprietary Pureflex® accelerator-free nitrile glove technology, controlled-environment cleanroom production, and full regulatory compliance under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745, EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, and EU food-contact regulations (1935/2004, 2023/2006, 10/2011).

MEDICOM generates revenue exclusively through a B2B direct-sales model with no e-commerce; customers contact the company by phone or email to receive quotes. Sales are managed through dedicated industry and medical divisions at French headquarters and through wholly-owned regional subsidiaries across Europe (UK, Germany, Ukraine), North America (Canada, USA), and Asia-Pacific (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Australia), supplemented by distributor partnerships in territories such as UK, Ireland, and Benelux. The customer base spans hospitals, clinics, dental practices, industrial manufacturers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations, food processors, and hygiene service providers, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts typical of regulated B2B procurement.
