IMC - InterMedCare, Germany
Germany, the world’s 2nd largest healthcare market, is considered the entry point to the European markets. All major MedTech companies operate in Germany through their own subsidiaries. For a small or mid-sized company setting up their own subsidiary requires a major capital investment as well as a burden on its own staff. Often overlooked is the fact that introducing and marketing a new product via a local distributor requires virtually the same financial and manpower allocations, furthermore constrained by loss of control. Moreover, finding the right distributor requires convincing a distributor whether it’s worth the money, time and effort: nowadays distributors want to see a secure return on their investment.
IMC offers the ideal solution: the joint subsidiary, where IMC appoints a dedicated IMC expert to manage the company, and uses its own specialists for the launch, marketing, sales and distribution of new products, whereas the manufacturer provides the product and training of IMC. Once the joint subsidiary is self-supporting, IMC retracts from its management obligations, assists with the recruitment and training of new employees, and transforms the joint company into a full-fledged subsidiary of the manufacturer. During the process, IMC can assist with the launch in other major European countries. IMC focuses primarily on the cardiovascular market.
