Founded in 1990 and based in its current showroom-and-warehouse facility since 2003, the company is led by CEO and veterinarian Jouni Niemi and employs 11 people across sales, customer service, purchasing, warehousing, service, marketing, and finance. The facility includes a retail showroom co-located with EHYT Eläinklinikka, a working animal clinic where products are used daily, providing live demonstration and feedback.
Vetman's product portfolio spans anesthesia machines (RWD R610/R650/R660 and Superavet tabletop, mobile, wall-mounted, and articulating-arm models), patient monitors (RWD RM800T and Burtons Lightning BASIC/MIDI/SPEC/PRO), ventilators (RWD R420, Burtons MERLIN, SAV04), patient warming systems (EickWarm, Moeck&Moeck), equine dental equipment (Horse Dental Equipment electric rasp sets, hand instruments, mouth gags, diagnostic cameras), small animal dental equipment (scaling units, X-ray, extraction instruments), infusion and surgical lines, practice furniture, and laboratory diagnostics (Skyla VB1, Vcheck, Neopod AI Vet, InCoag, URIT, EDAN i15Vet). The company functions as an authorized distributor for international manufacturers including RWD Life Science, Superavet, Burtons Manufacturing, Horse Dental Equipment, Eickemeyer, Fysioline Production, Heine, Draminski, B.

Target customers are Finnish small animal clinics and animal hospitals, equine veterinarians, and small animal dental specialists, served through bottom-of-funnel direct engagement supported by clinical-expert consultative selling.
