- Full Description

The German SME is a well-established company founded in 1972, specializing in the manufacture of high-quality medical furniture. Based in Northern Germany, the company is actively seeking partnerships to distribute its products and expand its market reach.
The company produces medical furniture that meets all the necessary standards for healthcare facilities (MDR). Their products are strong, durable, and as sustainable as possible.

The SME shows a strong commitment to environmental. Recognizing that production and transportation have a significant impact on the environment, the company takes a strategic approach by selecting only suppliers located in or near Germany, thereby reducing carbon emissions. They also use only OEKO-TEX Standard Class 1 certified synthetic leather sourced directly from Germany.
The company has an internal environmental policy aimed at reducing energy and material consumption and using green energy sources. Through digitization, they have significantly reduced their paper consumption and optimized production, reducing waste.
Another feature of their medical furniture is its eco-friendly maintenance. By offering replaceable exchange cushions and pads components, the company ensures that the furniture's lifecycle is extended, reducing waste and providing long-term cost savings for its customers.
To facilitate their business expansion, the German SME recognizes the importance of forming partnerships with companies that possess local market knowledge, distribution networks, and customer relationships.
