What Menges Medizintechnik Schweiz AG does

Menges Medizintechnik Schweiz AG is a Swiss medical technology distribution and service company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Rüthi (Canton Sankt Gallen), with an additional service center in Schlieren (Zürich). It operates as a subsidiary of Herba Chemosan Apotheker-AG within the Sanova group and employs approximately 13 people, of which roughly 10 are listed across management, regional sales, applications, and technical service functions. The company serves hospitals, medical institutes, radiology practices, and individual healthcare facilities across Switzerland, restricting all commercial enquiries to the Swiss market. Its value proposition combines equipment distribution with bundled planning, installation, training, and maintenance services, delivered through a regional field sales force (German-speaking Switzerland and Romandie & Ticino), product specialists (PDx), an applications specialist, and a technical hotline supported by an on-site service center in Schlieren.

The product portfolio is built around exclusive Swiss distribution rights for several premium medical device brands. In interventional radiology and mammography, Menges distributes the full Mammotome (Hologic) vacuum-assisted breast biopsy line — Revolve Refresh, Revolve Ultraschall, Revolve EX, Prima MR, and the tetherless Elite — alongside compatible biopsy markers. For imaging, it distributes ulrich medical's MR contrast media injectors (Max 3 and Max 2) with Easy-Click cassette systems, the CT motion SPICY CT injector, and GE Healthcare bone densitometry systems. In radiation protection, it is the official Swiss distributor of MAVIG's portfolio: X-ray aprons (Balance, Synergie, Victoria, Basic, Extended, Ergonomic, Comfort), protective glasses with Trielle lead-free lenses, sterile HS100 gloves, head covers, gonadal and patient shields, pediatric protection, and storage systems. It also distributes the FlowD 8020 mobile X-ray inspection system (with Adani X-ray unit) for quality control of protective garments per ÖNORM S 5213, and Qaelum radiological quality assurance products, with Wardray MR-compatible products added in 2025.

The business model is B2B equipment sales plus services, with quote-based pricing (no public price list), multi-year contracts, optional financing solutions, and recurring technical service and quality-control inspection work. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Marketing reach is built on a multilingual (DE/EN/FR) website, a LinkedIn presence, an email newsletter, industry association membership (Swiss Med Tech), and participation in events such as RSNA 2026 in Chicago. The company publishes transparent training-allocation disclosures per the Swiss Med Tech directive, signaling compliance maturity in regulated healthcare distribution.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Canon Medical Systems: Canon Medical Systems is a broad incumbent in diagnostic imaging (CT, MR, X-ray, ultrasound) that competes with Menges' imaging-adjacent product lines for the same Swiss hospital accounts.
• Philips Healthcare: Philips Healthcare operates across imaging, interventional radiology, and patient monitoring in Switzerland, overlapping with Menges' installed base and procurement cycles at hospital customers.
• Siemens Healthineers: Siemens Healthineers is a broad incumbent in CT, MR, and interventional radiology that competes for the same Swiss imaging capital budgets and service contracts that Menges addresses via its injector, biopsy, and radiation-protection portfolio.
• Carl Zeiss Meditec: Carl Zeiss Meditec operates in ophthalmology, microsurgery, and intraoperative imaging, with an established Swiss direct presence. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in specialty medical devices with overlapping hospital-channel economics.
• Elekta: Elekta is a broad incumbent in radiation therapy and radiosurgery that competes for adjacent capital budgets in Swiss oncology/radiology departments and shares radiation-protection regulatory drivers with Menges' portfolio.
• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare supplies the bone-density (DEXA) systems and broader imaging portfolio that compete with what Menges distributes and supports in Switzerland. It is a broad incumbent in medical imaging with overlapping customer relationships in Swiss hospitals.
• Hologic: Hologic owns the Mammotome breast-biopsy franchise that Menges distributes. While Hologic is a broad women-health incumbent with global reach, both companies compete for the same Swiss radiology and breast-imaging budgets, making Hologic a category-level comparable for the Mammotome product line.

Direct peers

• MAVIG: MAVIG is the OEM whose radiation-protection portfolio (aprons, glasses, gloves, headwear, storage) Menges distributes in Switzerland. As the upstream manufacturer, MAVIG is the most directly comparable counterparty operating in the same product category — radiation protection for X-ray and interventional radiology — that Menges sells into Swiss hospitals.
• ulrich medical: ulrich medical is the German manufacturer of the Max 2 / Max 3 MR contrast injectors that Menges exclusively distributes in Switzerland. It operates in the same interventional-radiology/contrast-injection product category and represents the closest functional peer at the device level.

Emerging players

• Brainlab: Brainlab focuses on image-guided surgery, interventional radiology, and radiotherapy software — overlapping with Menges' interventional-radiology and biopsy workflow footprint, particularly where OR/MR integration is required.
