Simon Hegele Healthcare Solutions SA de CV is an established leader in Latin America’s healthcare logistics landscape, delivering exceptional speed, cost efficiency, and equipment uptime. Founded in 2014, it is the region’s first branch of the Simon Hegele Group, which was established over 100 years ago in Karlsruhe, Germany. That said, the company provides the largest global resource of over 400 technicians based around the world, supporting the installation of highly advanced medical diagnostic and treatment equipment. This positioning aligns with its core mission to “make healthcare work”. How does Simon Hegele Healthcare Solutions SA de CV support complex medical equipment across Latin America? As a specialist partner to healthcare providers and device manufacturers, Simon Hegele focuses its global healthcare division on large-scale medical devices and electromedical systems as a core business, not a secondary vertical.

Instead of asking customers to adapt to fixed service templates, Simon Hegele customizes procedures around each project and each device, combining problem-solving, flexibility and quality to create the best possible experience for every client. This device-centric approach reduces risk, prevents damage and keeps patient-critical equipment ready to detect cancer, prevent strokes and support better outcomes, while the company continually evolves alongside customers to meet new challenges. “We customize every procedure to meet customer expectations, going the extra mile to create the best possible experience for every client,” says Gustavo Galetto Soria, National Manager....Read more
