Market Position/ History

Getinge, founded in 1904 by Swedish entrepreneur Olander Larsson in Getinge, Sweden, initially produced agricultural equipment. The company quickly grew, expanding its presence internationally. In 1932, Getinge shifted focus to medical technology, beginning with sterilizers for medical devices. In the 1960s, the company was acquired by Electrolux, which provided it with access to a global network and supported its growth. In 1989, Swedish entrepreneurs Rune Andersson and Carl Bennet took control of Getinge, sparking a period of rapid expansion fueled by strategic acquisitions in infection control and sterilization. By 1993, Getinge was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, reporting a revenue of 600 million SEK and employing 750 people.

In 2000, Getinge diversified into acute care therapies through its acquisition of Maquet, which brought innovative operating room equipment into its portfolio. Over the following years, the company continued to expand its presence in the cardiovascular sector, acquiring companies such as Datascope and Boston Scientific’s cardiac and vascular surgery divisions. Today, Getinge stands as a global leader in surgical workflows, life sciences, and acute care therapies, with ongoing growth driven by both organic development and strategic acquisitions.
