Winncare

BACKGROUND

The WINNCARE group satisfies the requirements of the dependent elderly in retirement homes and home help in France and other European countries.

In February 2004, the WINNCARE group acquired ASKLESANTE, the French leader for devices for the prevention and treatment of bedsores in the French market.

It has a complete range of mattresses, cushions, positioning accessories for the prevention of bedsores and for comfort. ASKLESANTE has developed huge expertise and is one of the rare manufacturers to have had a complete range of high technology products for several years (polyurethane technologies, static air units and motorised air units since 2005).

In July 2004 the WINNCARE group acquired MEDICATLANTIC, the French medical bed and furniture leader for equipment for medical-social establishments and home help.

In July 2005, the WINNCARE group acquired VIRMEDIC, manufacturer of person-hoists and ASKLESANTE distributor for the Spanish market.

In April 2009, the strategy was refined to ensure a European growth. We adapted the Marketing and Sales Management as well the sales teams. Many projects, products and services, were accomplished or are in process, associated to innovative projects which contribute to the success of the Winncare Group.

In September 2012, Mr Philippe CHENE was appointed General Director of the Winncare Group. Specialist of pharmaceutical industry sector and medical devices, Philippe ChĂȘne acted as General Manager at Baxter Healthcare (from 2002 to 2010). Management is associated to the strategy of development of the Group.

Today, the WINNCARE group generates approximately 60% of its revenue from Home Help and enjoys its place as leader in retirement homes, allowing it to anticipate results consistent with its ambitions.

The development of ranges incorporating beds and mattresses, a motorised air range satisfying 98% of requirements, and a range for hospitals, supplements the current ranges. Since March 2010, these ranges guarantee the commercial success and strengthen our customers' loyalty.

The launch of Winncare Services will be a way of always accompanying our service provider customers which ensures the supply of our products over the whole territory with the greatest professionalism.
