JMP Medical and Expandable Healthcare, both European manufacturers of mobile imaging units and modular medical buildings, are becoming one company under the JMP Medical brand.
The enterprise will be based in Ostrów Wielkopolski, Poland, the location of JMP Medical’s production facility and R&D center, and maintain a manufacturing and engineering hub in Eersel, Netherlands, where Expandable Healthcare is based. Together, they will continue providing units for maintenance and servicing across Western Europe, and the transition will not interrupt the daily operations of either business.
Michał Pigłas, co-founder and board member at JMP Medical, will lead alongside Martijn Gevers, the CEO of Expandable Healthcare.
“With a larger combined footprint, we can now reach more healthcare facilities and communities, making advanced diagnostic imaging technologies more accessible to those in need,” said both in a statement shared with HCB News.
JMP Medical designs relocatable medical units for MR and CT imaging that come completely furnished and can help avoid patient backlogs, disruption of healthcare services, and space shortages. It also has modular MR and CT imaging units that can be permanently attached to facilities or constitute free-standing buildings, as well as mobile MR, X-ray ambulance, and mammography units.
Expandable Healthcare also provides mobile and relocatable units for CT, cath labs, mammography, PET/CT, and X-ray as well as non-imaging applications such as GP clinics, dermatology, ophthalmology, operating procedures, pharmacies, and consultations. It also designs hybrid mobile units that fully operate from the ground, increasing accessibility.
“By combining our expertise and resources, we will be able to offer an enhanced range of solutions, ensuring a more comprehensive suite of options tailored to meet our customers’ specific needs. Together, we look forward to fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, driving the development of advanced technologies that contribute to improved healthcare outcomes,” said Pigłas and Gevers.
