Medica 2026 Exhibitor List

Who exhibits at Medica?

According to the organiser's latest figures, Medica and COMPAMED together brought more than 5,300 exhibitors from 70 nations to Düsseldorf in 2025. Headline topics include connected hospital processes, imaging and diagnostics, point-of-care testing, telemedicine and remote monitoring. The list therefore spans global device brands as well as small specialist producers of consumables.

COMPAMED is a separate audience: suppliers of components, materials, packaging and contract manufacturing for medical device makers. Whether you sell a finished product or supply manufacturers decides which half of the list deserves your attention.

What do distributors ask a new supplier first?

European distributors usually open with regulatory questions: conformity under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), the notified body involved and the state of your technical documentation. UK manufacturers should also be ready to explain how UKCA and CE marking are handled for their range. Arriving with this answered moves the conversation to pricing and logistics far sooner.

How far ahead should you book meetings?

Distributors fill their stand diaries with existing suppliers first, so the useful window for a first meeting is roughly six to four weeks before the fair. Many exhibitors are based in Germany, where unsolicited commercial email to businesses requires prior consent under § 7 UWG. A phone call, a LinkedIn introduction or the organiser's matchmaking tools are the more reliable first step; a written follow-up after the fair, sent within the same week, is expected.
