MEDIMEC International srl

What MEDIMEC International srl does

MEDIMEC International srl is an Italian medical aids distributor and importer founded in 1973 and headquartered in Faenza (Ravenna), Italy. The company specializes in selecting, importing, and distributing high-quality assistive mobility and rehabilitation equipment for adults and children with motor disabilities or reduced mobility. Its portfolio spans electric and manual wheelchairs, propulsion systems, cycloergometers (Thera-Trainer), standing walkers (Meywalk), electric beds (Burmeier, KayserBetten), anti-decubitus mattresses (Kubivent), stair lifts (AAT), ergonomic chairs (Mercado), patient lifters (Handicare), pediatric assistive equipment (Thomashilfen, Timo), and adaptive bikes (Pro Activ). All commercialized products conform to European Directive 93/42/EEC, bear CE marking, and the company has held ISO 9001 certification since December 2011.

MEDIMEC operates a multi-channel distribution model: direct sales through a nationwide network of 16 sales agents covering the entire Italian territory, partnerships with orthopedic retailers and hospitals, an e-commerce website (medimec.it), and a dealer registration portal. The company generates revenue through three primary streams: new equipment sales (one-time), certified used equipment sales (refurbished, sanitized, warrantied), and rental subscriptions at fixed daily rates. Additional revenue derives from technical support, pre-sales consulting, home delivery, usage instruction, and staff training services. The company also operates Medimec Academy, a continuing education program for orthopedic technicians, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals.

The business is privately held by the founding Capelli family — Domenico Capelli (physician), Dorothea Capelli (orthopedic specialist from Berlin), and their son Matthias Capelli — with no external institutional investors. Registered capital is EUR 100,000. Operations are confined to Italy, and the company has received European Regional Development Funds from the Regione Emilia-Romagna to develop its AI-powered Medimec Virtual Assistant for customer service.
