Clearwater has advised Medequip, the UK’s largest provider of community equipment and complementary services, on its sale to Medux, an umbrella organisation for a group of companies and brands specialising in medical equipment for healthcare organisations and private individuals.
Medequip is the UK’s market leading provider of community equipment and complementary services to local authorities and the National Health Service (NHS). Medequip’s services enable individuals to live independently at home for longer, alleviating pressures on the NHS and other healthcare services. Located in Harmondsworth, close to Heathrow Airport, and with turnover of over £200m (€235m), Medequip employs more than 1,000 people.
Medux operates in the medical equipment industry and specialises in providing management, maintenance and logistics of medical equipment for healthcare organisations and private individuals. The organisation has a turnover exceeding €385m and includes companies and brands such as HartingBank, Medipoint and Atlas Kidtech.
With a shared focus on ensuring healthcare remains affordable and accessible with an efficient supply of products and services, both Medux and Medequip have strong reputations amongst end users, prescribers and clients. In the Netherlands, Medux supplies more than 1.5 million medical devices annually via its brands Medipoint, HartingBank and Atlas Kidtech. In the UK Medequip visits more than 1.3 million customers every year delivering community equipment services, technology enabled care services (TECS), planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and minor adaptations. By joining forces, Medux and Medequip will strengthen their services and broaden their customer bases.
The organisations will continue to operate independently of each other.
