Hospilux’s Path to Growth: Redefining Quality and Innovation in Luxembourg’s Healthcare
The MedTech industry in Luxembourg is at a pivotal moment, balancing local leadership with the need to compete on a global scale. In recent years, Luxembourg has seen a surge in medical innovation, with companies striving to enhance quality, efficiency, and sustainability. As the nation continues to invest in digitalization and healthcare technology, one company stands at the forefront of this transformation: Hospilux.
A New Era for Hospilux
Hospilux, a key player in Luxembourg’s medical supply sector for the past 40 years, is undergoing a sea change following its acquisition by a local private equity fund just over a year ago. This transition has provided Hospilux with new resources to strengthen its market leadership. Over the past two and a half years, the company has focused on reorganization, digitalization, and team development. These efforts are now paying off, setting the stage for further growth.
Future Projects and Technological Innovation
Looking ahead, Hospilux is placing significant emphasis on digitalization. The company is investing in digital services for clients, ensuring its operations remain efficient and competitive. Henckes highlights the importance of staying lean and adaptive:
“Innovation is key in the medical field, and this trend is accelerating. It’s crucial for our future growth to not only invest in technology but also in our team’s skills to keep pace with these advancements.”
In addition to digitalization, Hospilux remains committed to exploring new product offerings. One of its current implementations includes B.Braun’s SpacePlus infusion and perfusion pumps at a major Luxembourg hospital. These advanced pumps, connected to a Cloud platform, provide enhanced management capabilities, such as precise drug libraries and detailed usage reporting, highlighting Hospilux’s focus on integrating cutting-edge technology in healthcare.
Quality as a Core Value
For four decades, Hospilux has stood by its commitment to delivering high-quality products and services. While its offerings may not always be the least expensive, they provide unmatched value in the premium segment. This focus on quality aligns with the company’s belief that in healthcare, quality should never be compromised, as it ultimately reduces long-term costs and improves patient outcomes.
Sustainability and the Future of Healthcare

The challenge of sustainability in the healthcare industry is one that Hospilux takes seriously. While single-use products remain a necessity for patient safety, the company is working with providers to improve product design, reduce packaging, and lower energy consumption. Henckes underscores the importance of addressing the issue of medical waste, particularly in recycling practices, as the sector looks to create more sustainable solutions.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges

Amid these developments, Hospilux is also carefully monitoring changes in Luxembourg’s healthcare regulations. A draft law proposing the centralization of procurement, and the creation of a large logistics center has raised concerns within the private sector. While centralized procurement is not new, the potential scope of the logistics center could pose operational challenges and introduce systemic risks in case of disruptions. Henckes highlights ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Health, aiming to find a balanced solution that protects private sector interests while advancing the overall healthcare system.
Hospilux at Luxembourg Roadshow
As part of its ongoing efforts to innovate and stay ahead of industry trends, Nicolas Henckes will be speaking at the panel “MedTech in Luxembourg. Innovating Locally, Competing Globally” at Luxembourg Roadshow taking place on September 30th at Big Bang Theatre, House of Startups. His participation highlights Hospilux’s role not only as a leader in Luxembourg but also as a company ready to compete on a global stage.
