Comprehensive Supply Chain
At Medline, our customer‑first mindset drives everything we do. We continuously invest in improving quality by maintaining full control of our integrated supply chain, from pack assembly to final delivery.
This end‑to‑end oversight ensures consistent quality, reliable service and better value. By managing every stage of the process, we leverage economies of scale, drive operational innovation and remove unnecessary third‑party costs.
Components
- Medline offers more than 4,500 components for your packs.
- More than 1,300 Medline-branded components (excellent quality, high service level and competitive pricing).
- You can add components from other brands too.
Sterilisation
- Medline takes responsibility for the sterilisation of your packs and guarantees their sterility.
- We do so by auditing our sterilisation centres and validating sterilisation cycles, according to established standards.
- Our packs are sterilised in a chamber with ethylene oxide (EtO), and afterwards, aeration time is carefully determined in order to remove EtO residue.
Transportation
- Medline has developed a fleet of Medline trucks called MedTrans, which is the perfect service for any delivery that requires specific timing or needs special attention.
- MedTrans staff possess product and medical knowledge, and drivers are trained to go the extra mile for you.

- 2 manufacturing facilities in Europe (in France and Slovakia).
- 11.6 million kits produced per year in Europe.
Warehousing
- To minimise shipping lead times and reduce freight costs, Medline warehousing facilities are strategically located in close proximity to our customers.
