What Medproduction Gmbh does

Medproduction GmbH is a privately held B2B professional services firm headquartered in Cologne, Germany, specializing in medical and health content creation. Founded in 2006, the company serves pharmaceutical companies, medical publishers, health insurers, medical technology firms, and professional medical societies through services including medical writing, editing, accessibility-compliant content production, multimedia development, and digital consulting. It maintains a strategic sister-company partnership with vetproduction, which extends a comparable editorial-services model into veterinary and animal health verticals.

The firm's offerings span seven core service lines: Medical Editing & Writing (study summaries, whitepapers, CME modules, peer-reviewed content); Accessibility Services (Plain/Easy Language per DIN 8581-1); Digital Media (newsletter, e-detailers, storyboards); Press & Translations (German/English/French); Storytelling (congress reports, case studies, advisory board protocols); Multimedia Realisation (infographics, 2D/3D medical illustrations, animations, e-learning, interactive PDFs); and Digital Consulting (SEO, content strategy, usability, web analytics, project management). Delivery relies on an in-house team of doctors and scientists working in minimum two-person teams, flexibly augmented by a vetted freelance network.

Commercially, Medproduction operates a sales-led, project-based B2B model with non-public pricing, multi-year contract potential, and direct engagement from Cologne to clients worldwide. The firm is bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding rounds, and ownership rests with co-managing directors Dr. med. Martin Waitz and Anja Kleinehanding.
