Madinah factory
Our Saudi plant. SFDA-licensed as a local manufacturer (ML-2023-MD-0885); everything built here carries the Saudi Made mark. This is where the hospital beds the Kingdom used to import are now made.
About
Precision, by design
AIIM is an independent German surgical instruments brand based in Hüfingen, Germany. It engineers around 10,000 standard instruments to the German standard.
The range spans general and specialty surgical instruments, laparoscopy and endoscopy, minimally invasive cardiovascular (MICS) instruments, diagnostic instruments, and sterilization containers and baskets. Every line is documented in 78 downloadable catalogs.
In its newest partnership, AIIM agreed to have its instruments manufactured by Medica-Lab in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi market. Internationally, AIIM remains a brand in its own right. The agreement follows Medica-Lab's model: German engineering with localized production and a shorter supply chain. AIIM operates under an EN ISO 13485 certified quality management system and offers custom design, special manufacturing and instrument repair.

Where we build
We manufacture close to the healthcare systems we serve — that is what keeps delivery short and service near the patient.

AIIM engineers and manufactures its instrument programme in Germany. Medica-Lab distributes and services the range across Saudi Arabia and the wider region, and manufactures AIIM instruments in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi market.
Our journey
Four decades of building medical equipment where it is needed.
- 1984
Medica-Lab is founded
Dr Hesham Swilam founds the company in Egypt as a specialist in medical furniture, at a time when nearly every hospital bed in the country was imported.
- 1994
The first factory opens
Production begins in Badr City near Cairo. Egyptian hospitals no longer have to import their beds — the step that defined everything that followed.
- 2002
Joint-stock company, second factory
Medica-Lab becomes a joint-stock company and opens a 5,000 m² plant, adding mortuary refrigeration — the line known today as Preservus.
- 2010
Third factory, modern machinery
A third plant brings state-of-the-art fabrication. Across these years the group equips 400 rural health units, 190 women’s health units and 50 integrated hospitals.
- 2018
HOSPIcare joins the group
The group acquires HOSPIcare®, the French hospital bed brand, and moves its headquarters to Paris.
- 2022
Manufacturing localized in Saudi Arabia
The Madinah factory opens, SFDA-licensed as a local manufacturer. World-class hospital beds, made in the Kingdom, for the Kingdom.
- 2025–present
AIIM joins the portfolio
A partnership with AIIM, the German surgical instruments brand, brings roughly 10,000 instruments into the group’s regional supply chain — and Medica-Lab begins manufacturing AIIM instruments in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi market.
