Use the directory and tools for free. Companies can separately post an ad seeking distributors or brands / products for €200 including VAT for 90 days from publication. Optional Fractio advisory has its own proposal and contract.
Every distributor in the directory must pass three tests before it's published. I run these tests manually for new submissions and re-check them periodically for existing entries. The aim is to make this directory genuinely useful for non-EU manufacturers evaluating European market entry — not just a long list of company names.
Not owned or controlled by a medical device manufacturer. Subsidiaries like Stryker France or Roche España are excluded — they are competitors to a non-EU manufacturer, not potential partners.
Distributes products from multiple manufacturers, not just its own private label or single line. The point of evaluating a distributor is the breadth and depth of channel they bring.
Active commercial role in the target country — not just import-of-record paperwork or fulfilment subcontractor. Examples: hospital tender capability, KOL relationships, post-sale service, regional sales coverage.
For each entry, I check the following sources in roughly this order until verification is confident:
Find distributors by country, sub-vertical, or both. Each listing includes the operating entity, what they distribute, sub-vertical scope, and regulatory context for their market.
Use the Distributor Matcher to rank 459+ candidates against your profile. Use the Coverage Planner to compute minimum contracts for multi-country reach.
The directory is not a lead-gen funnel. Each profile links to the country hub, sector hub, and (where available) the distributor's own website. Contact them directly. If you want hands-on help, talk to Fractio.
Distributor directory access, editorial listing and the planning tools are free. Advertising is a separate purchase: one company and one product or coherent product family, or one focused search for brands / products, for €200 including VAT and 90 days from publication. Both ad types appear in the same opportunities section. Advertising does not buy a higher directory or Matcher ranking.
The advertisement process is: choose an intent, submit your ad, pay securely with Stripe, then we review and publish manually. We review within 1–2 business days; unpublished ads are refunded in full. The 90-day period begins on publication. There is no subscription or automatic renewal. Anyone can contact advertisers directly without a response fee; email campaigns and introductions are not included, and responses and sales are not guaranteed.
Your company profile is part of the ad; no login, separate account or dashboard is required. Ads must concern medical devices, dental or diagnostics and name specific target countries. International ads are welcome; the free directory retains its existing European coverage.

The directory has a simple editorial policy:
The free tools run in your browser and do not send your shortlist to distributors. When you contact a company directly, you choose what to share. For a paid advertisement, the approved company profile, offer or product search, target countries and commercial contact are public; order contact and billing details are kept private. Read the privacy notice.
Submissions through the List Your Company form are typically reviewed individually. Corrections to existing listings are reviewed through the same form.
No. The Matcher score is computed from the inputs the user provides + the distributor's verified attributes (sector, country, multi-country group footprint, model fit, class fit). Nobody can pay to change the score function.
Because the kind of reviews that matter (clinical reputation, OR-floor performance, KOL access, tender win rate) cannot be honestly aggregated from public sources. A 5-star rating system would mislead manufacturers into thinking a directory could replace due diligence. It can't. Use the directory as a starting list, then run due diligence with reference calls.
Europages and Kompass are generalist B2B directories — they don't separate medical devices from any other industrial product, and they accept any listing without sector-specific verification. This directory is medical-device-specific, applies the 3-test verification standard, excludes manufacturer subsidiaries, and is curated by someone with 9 years of operator experience in the sector.
Visibility to non-EU manufacturers searching for European partners. Country and sector pages help visitors research topics such as "medical device distributors germany," "european medical device distributors," "cardiovascular distributors europe," etc. A listed distributor appears in country hubs, sector hubs, sub-vertical × country pages, the Matcher tool, and the Coverage Planner — without paying anything.
