What MEDI BAYREUTH ESPAÑA SL does

MEDI BAYREUTH ESPAÑA SL is the Spanish distribution subsidiary of medi GmbH & Co. KG, a German family-owned medical compression company headquartered in Bayreuth. Established as the Spanish entity in 1996 and operated today by a third-generation family leadership team (Miriam Weihermüller, Marcus Weihermüller, and Philipp Schatz, who assumed control of the parent group in 2025), the subsidiary is based in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) with approximately 27 local employees. The parent group employs roughly 3,000 people worldwide, of which approximately 1,800 sit at Bayreuth headquarters, and serves more than 90 countries.

The business imports, distributes, and markets medi's medical compression and orthopedic product portfolio in Spain. Core offerings span the mediven family (flat-knit 550 leg/arm, round-knit harmony, mondi, esprit, thrombosis prophylaxis lines thrombexin 18/21 and struva 23/35), circaid adjustable compression systems, medi travel consumer products for thrombosis prevention, the Spinomed back orthosis for osteoporosis, Lipomed post-surgical garments, plus a complementary accessories range (donning/doffing aids, lymphpads, care creams, laundry nets). Underlying technology centers on graduated compression class I-IV, flat- and round-knit manufacturing, and proprietary Clima Comfort (moisture transport) and Clima Fresh (odor control via spinning process, not chemistry) treatments. The medi vision digital measurement system supports product fitting.

The subsidiary operates a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market. The B2B e-shop (eshop.mediespana.com) serves registered medical professionals with 24/7 self-service reordering, while consumer products (medi travel, ITEM m6 fashion compression) flow through a network of physical medical supply stores (tiendas de suministros médicos). Revenue is generated through unit sales at list prices with VAT-exclusive pricing, free shipping thresholds (180.30 EUR Peninsula/Balearics, 360.60 EUR Canary Islands), and a six-month compression warranty. Made-to-measure (MTM) garments represent a meaningful share of clinical revenue, with over 5,600 combinations possible for mediven 550 leg and over 2,100 for mediven 550 arm.
