REACHING GLOBAL PRESENCE WITH SANITARY EQUIPMENT

Founded in 1974 in Barcelona, Mediclinics, a family-run firm, began its journey as a local distributor of bathroom equipment before launching its first hand dryer, the Saniflow® E-85, in 1985. This marked the start of the company’s long-standing tradition of functional and sustainable bathroom solutions. In 1989, Mediclinics embarked on international expansion, initially entering the European market before establishing a presence in over 100 countries worldwide.

From its early innovations in hand dryers, the company has consistently expanded its product offerings to meet the evolving needs of public bathroom spaces.

In 2016, they launched Babymedi®, a line of baby changing stations that set a new benchmark for hygiene and safety in public restrooms. The Babymedi® range, which includes a recessed version introduced in 2022, demonstrates Mediclinics’ dedication to functionality, design, and user-centered solutions.
