medi manufactures compression therapy, orthotic, and wound-care products alongside performance sportswear brands (CEP, ITEM m6) across medical and consumer segments. The company operates a legacy ERP stack (AS/400, Infor LN, SAP) typical of industrial manufacturers, paired with modern e-commerce and digital marketing tools—reflecting a traditional supply-chain business expanding digital channels. Active hiring skews toward marketing and manufacturing roles, with significant open inventory and supply-chain optimization initiatives suggesting the organization is scaling demand generation and operational efficiency in parallel.
