Medddbase is a highly specialized service provider for the commercialization and logistics of medical products across Switzerland, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. For nearly 20 years, the company has exclusively supported more than 50 global medical technology manufacturers through a network of five locations (including partner sites), handling close to half a million product shipments annually.

Closing in Baar, Switzerland with:Jonas Oggier, Fabian Kröher, Manfred Menzi-Weder, Fabio Fagagnini, Luigi Bivi, Marco Novoselac, Moritz Kornherr, Nick Hartmann
Fabian Kröher, Chairman of the Board of Healthcare Holding Schweiz AG and Partner at Winterberg Group, commented: “With Medddbase International, we are significantly strengthening our value proposition for international medical technology manufacturers. In addition to exclusive distribution capabilities, we will now offer a modular, end-to-end service platform – ranging from CH- and EU-MDR-compliant import services to logistics backbone solutions, customer support, and financial accounting. This allows us to selectively provide individual service components such as logistics or customer service independently of distribution. Through our Healthcare Holding Schweiz subsidiary QUNIQUE, we can also cover key regulatory roles such as Swiss and EU Authorized Representative (CH-REP, EU-REP). As a result, we further consolidate our position as Switzerland’s leading medical technology distributor while creating a highly attractive gateway into the European market – particularly valued by suppliers from North America and Asia.”
Luigi Bivi, Member of the Board of Directors of Medddbase International AG, added: “Over recent years, we have successfully established Medddbase across the DACH region and further strengthened our presence in the UK and other European markets through local partners. Together with Healthcare Holding Schweiz, we can now systematically build on this strong foundation and further expand our role as a go-to-market backbone for international MedTech manufacturers – from import and logistics services to scalable market access models. With such a strong partner at our side, our development will become even faster and more dynamic, which we very much look forward to. Together with my co-founder Manfred Menzi, I will continue to actively support the management team in our role as members of the Board of Directors.”
