Reinsberg Group continues its growth trajectory with the acquisition of Swiss company Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG, a long-established manufacturer of premium mobile operating tables and specialized orthopedic accessories. The addition of Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG will strengthen the Group’s operating table offering, bring further specialized expertise in orthopedics and spinal surgery, and, at the same time, establish a direct presence for the Reinsberg Group in the Swiss market.
Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG was founded in 1892 and is one of Switzerland’s long-established medical technology manufacturers. The company has been developing and manufacturing operating tables since 1912 and has built strong technical expertise in this field for more than a century. It is headquartered in Münsingen close to Bern, where its in-house development and manufacturing operations are based. Today, the company is present in more than 75 countries through an international network of sales and service partners.
“Schaerer Medical is exactly the type of company we want to add to the Reinsberg Group’s portfolio. The company is an established European manufacturer with in-house development capabilities, extensive expertise, and a long track record of success. The product portfolio perfectly complements our existing offerings for the operating room sector and, at the same time, gives us a direct presence in the Swiss market. The acquisition is therefore another important step toward building a strong European medical technology group with international reach.”, says Jan Izák, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Reinsberg Group.
Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG’s product portfolio complements Reinsberg Group’s existing offering particularly well with specialized mobile operating tables for orthopedics and spinal surgery. The company has extensive experience in these fields and provides solutions for demanding surgical procedures that combine high load capacities, a wide range of positioning options, and specialized extensions and accessories. The design of selected tables also facilitates easier access to the patient and supports the effective use of imaging technologies during surgery.
“Schaerer Medical will significantly strengthen our capabilities in the surgical field, particularly in orthopedics and spinal surgery. The company has extensive experience with specialized operating tables and patient positioning. For the Reinsberg Group, this means we are adding another technologically advanced component of surgical equipment to our portfolio while also integrating a company with a strong service infrastructure and an extensive international network of sales and service partners. “We see significant growth potential in combining these capabilities with the Reinsberg Group’s sales and market presence”,
says Dr. Markus Keussen, CEO of the Reinsberg Group.
Reinsberg Group already offers a broad range of technologies and equipment for operating rooms – from operating tables and surgical lights to modular operating room infrastructure and ceiling-mounted systems, as well as solutions for operating room integration and healthcare IT. Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG will further expand this offering, particularly in the field of mobile operating tables for orthopedics and spinal surgery. Its strong service capabilities and extensive international network of sales and service partners also play an important role, further strengthening Reinsberg Group’s commercial reach across international markets.
“Joining the Reinsberg Group is an important milestone in Schaerer Medical’s long history. We are proud of our Swiss heritage and the expertise we have built up over more than a century—particularly in the field of operating tables for complex surgical procedures. We view this partnership as an opportunity to build on these strengths, further develop our products and services, and create new opportunities for our customers and employees. We look to the future with great confidence and look forward to contributing our expertise to the continued growth of the Reinsberg Group”,
says Reto Sieber, CEO of Schaerer Medical Schweiz AG.
Reinsberg Group currently generates combined annual revenues of more than EUR 150 million, employs over 850 people, and has a distribution network spanning five continents.
