Founded in Hanoi in 2008, Biomedic has over 80 employees across three locations in Vietnam and generates nearly $15.25 million in annual net sales with strong profitability.

Biomedic works with a wide range of clients in the Vietnamese healthcare sector, including hospitals, testing centres, and fertility clinics, building on long-standing relationships with leading blue-chip companies. Through its equipment placement model, the company derives a significant portion of its revenue from recurring consumables.

“Over nearly two decades, we have built a strong track record connecting global biotechnology companies with our customer network across Vietnam,” said Cao Tien Dung, founder of Biomedic. “Joining DKSH marks the next step in our growth.”

“Our existing customer base will create new opportunities for DKSH in Vietnam, while the Group’s strong sales channels will help us scale further. We are confident this move will benefit both our business partners and employees,” he added.

Hanno Elbraechter, head of Business Unit Technology at DKSH, said, “We are delighted to join forces with Biomedic. The company is recognised for its market-leading application and scientific workflow expertise, supported by a strong team of sales, service, and application specialists across northern and southern Vietnam. This partnership will allow DKSH Technology to further strengthen its position in Vietnam’s growing life sciences and healthcare sector.”
