Accuramed is a distributor of medical devices and laboratory equipment focused on cardiorespiratory testing and molecular diagnostics, operating throughout the Benelux region. Founded in 2000 by Jozef Knez, the company initially established itself as a Belgian distributor of cardiorespiratory medical devices. The company's growth was significantly accelerated by the involvement of Knez's sons, Filip and Karel Knez, who are the current managers, and through geographical expansion into the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The business model centers on distributing a curated portfolio of products from partners like Niox Group Plc and Geratherm Respiratory GmbH, supplemented by in-house hardware and software development to provide tailored solutions. Accuramed serves a client base of over 250 hospitals, commercial laboratories, and private practices in pneumology and cardiology. In 2016, the company diversified by entering the laboratory market, focusing on molecular diagnostics and automated PCR testing in partnership with Seegene. This division provides solutions for detecting organisms related to respiratory infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and STDs. More recently, a Point of Care testing offering was added to facilitate urgent diagnostics.
In June 2024, private equity fund Down2Earth Capital acquired a stake in Accuramed to support its growth trajectory, which includes expanding its product portfolio, entering new markets, and pursuing targeted acquisitions. The key management team, including Filip and Karel Knez, remains on board and co-invested with Down2Earth. The company's strategy emphasizes providing a high level of service, including analysis, installation, training, and technical support, to foster long-term partnerships with its clients.
