Medicom was founded in 1988 in response to the urgent need for medical gloves for healthcare professionals during the global HIV crisis. Since then, the company has evolved to become one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of premium, single-use, preventive and infection control products for the medical, dental, industrial, animal health, laboratory, retail, and health and wellness markets.
Medicom has been a reliable supplier of infection control solutions during multiple epidemics, including avian flu, SARS, H1N1, and Ebola, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, and was named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for three consecutive years.
Today, the Medicom Group distributes infection control products under the Medicom, Ritmed, Kolmi, Hopen, Ocean Pacific, and Hedy brands. Medicom subsidiaries include Kolmi-Hopen in France, Medicom Asia in Hong Kong, United Medical Enterprise in the U.S., KHM Engineering in Singapore, and Medicom HealthPro Limited in the U.K.
