The history of OmniMedical
Early years
The family business Huikeshoven Medical was founded in January 1996 by the Marcus family and was originally located in Ophemert (Gelderland). In the early years, Huikeshoven Medical supplied various specialist materials in the field of stoma and (in)continence care.
Progressive
Huikeshoven Medical experienced strong growth thanks to several successful product introductions. For example, the washable underpad has become a standard aid for continence care in nursing homes and home care. Huikeshoven Medical was also progressive and successful in the field of sustainable use of urine bags.
Successful
The distinctive stoma brands Eakin and Marlen also experienced rapid growth due to their innovative stoma 'convex products'. In addition, a new line of health products was introduced to drugstores and retail chains. Due to the sucess of the ''HygiCare hygienic while traveling'' concept, the Urinelle urine tube for women and the DO2 deodorant with alum crystals, the ''Health Products'' branch grew into an indepenent division within the Huikshoven Medical organization.
Expansion
As a result of the rapid growth and expansion, a step to larger business premises and warehouse was inevitable. In April 2007, the company exchanged the fruit trees and rural surroudings of Ophemert for new business premises on the brand new business park Medel in Tiel.
Focus and privatization of brands
The ostomy brands Eakin and Marlen were soon spun off into two new (sister) companies within the Huikeshoven Medical product portfolio: Eakin Healthcare bv & Marlen Europe bv. As a result, the focus for Huikeshoven Medical Huikeshoven shifted to high-quality products in the field of (in)continence care. - urology and health products. At the end of 2011, the health products division also became independent as a sister company under the company name: Convicare bv. The company Hygion bv was also purchased as a supplier of absorbent body-bound incontinence products.
OmniMedical
Due to changing market conditions, the companies Marlen Europe, Eakin Healthcare and Hygion were terminated or sold between 2016 and 2018 and the remaining activities were combined into one operating company over time. This became a fact on 1 May 2018 and the company name Huikeshoven Medical bv was also changed to OmniMedical bv.
