THE FOUNDERS’ LEGACY
From Procurement Consulting to Europe’s Largest Healthcare Ecosystem
In 2006, the founders started with a clear conviction:
Procurement in healthcare is not administrative — it is strategic.
What began as a specialized hospital & healthcare procurement consulting firm with approximately 10 employees evolved into a cross-border transformation platform.
From the very beginning, the mission was different:
VISION BEFORE SCALE (2006)
Not transactional negotiations.
Not short-term savings.
But structural, sustainable value creation for healthcare providers.
Over 15 years, nearly 200 procurement projects were executed across 10 European countries, advising among others 6 private equity investors.
THE FOUNDERS ACCUMULATED MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF COMBINED CONSULTING EXPERTISE — BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY BUILT TRUST ACROSS THE HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM.
DELIVERING MEASURABLE IMPACT
The legacy is not based on concepts — but on results.
Proven Track Record
140 rehab, acute & care locations
200+ pan-European hospital facilities
8,000+ beds across major clinic groups
€40m – €400m purchasing volumes per organization
20–60% permanent savings achieved
The founders demonstrated that:
Transparency drives performance
Data transforms negotiation power
Scale enables strategic influence
PROCUREMENT BECAME A FINANCIAL LEVER — NOT A COST CENTER
FROM CONSULTING FIRM TO EUROPEAN PLATFORM
Within only 12 months after launching the next phase, contracts were signed with more than 200 hospitals across Europe.
The vision was bold: Creating Europe’s largest digital hospital & healthcare sourcing platform for medical devices.
The founders moved from:
Project-based consulting to
Ecosystem-based collaboration
THEY SHIFTED THE PARADIGM FROM ISOLATED HOSPITAL OPTIMIZATION TO COLLECTIVE EUROPEAN PURCHASING INTELLIGENCE.
Today the ecosystem includes:
BUILDING THE PROCUREMENT ECOSYSTEM (2019–TODAY)
Core Principles:
Financial & quality transparency
Innovation acceleration
Knowledge transfer across borders
Strong voice for healthcare procurement
Establishment of a digital Procurement Competency Hub
5,000 healthcare facilities
17 countries (Europe, Canada & China)
€25 billion annual purchasing volume
THIS IS NO LONGER A COMPANY. IT IS A MOVEMENT.
REDEFINING THE ROLE OF PROCUREMENT
Perhaps the most enduring part of the founders’ legacy is cultural. They elevated healthcare procurement:
From administrative back-office
To strategic driver of healthcare sustainability
They positioned procurers as: “Rock stars” of financial responsibility and quality assurance.
BY INTEGRATING ANALYTICS, DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND CROSS-BORDER COLLABORATION, THEY TRANSFORMED PROCUREMENT INTO A CORE PILLAR OF HEALTHCARE SYSTEM RESILIENCE.
The founders leave behind more than:
They leave behind:
THE ENDURING LEGACY
Contracts
Savings
Platform scale
A European procurement identity
A data-driven culture
A sustainable ecosystem
A structural shift in power balance
A model that can scale globally
THEIR LEGACY IS NOT MEASURED ONLY IN BILLIONS OF PURCHASING VOLUME — BUT IN THE STRUCTURAL EMPOWERMENT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ACROSS EUROPE.
