BSN medical was established in April 2001 as a 50:50 joint venture between Beiersdorf AG, Hamburg, and Smith & Nephew plc, London due to complementary geographic and channel strengths in the areas of wound care, fracture management, physiotherapy and compression therapy. BSN medical was acquired in 2006 by Montagu Private Equity, a leading private equity investor in the European mid-market, with a large pool of available funds, with values ranging from € 100 million to € 1+ billion. Since then, BSN was developed as a fully independent global player in the health care market. Under Montagu’s ownership BSN medical successfully completed 4 acquisitions, further developed the global independency and continued the portfolio upgrade through highly innovative product launches (e.g. Advanced Wound Care).
BSN medical focuses on developing world-class products that offer high quality solutions for both caregivers and patients.
We are one of the world’s leading suppliers in the medical product segments of casting, bandaging, traditional wound care and compression therapy.
