For companies developing medical devices, access to engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities is an important consideration when choosing a location. For Phillips Medisize, Denmark offers both.

The company’s Danish presence has its roots in B&O Medicom and Medicom Innovation Partners. Established competencies in medical device development and regulated manufacturing, combined with access to skilled technical talent, made Denmark an attractive location for continued investment.

Today, Phillips Medisize’s Danish sites form an important part of the company’s Global R&D organisation and support development and manufacturing activities for global customers, drawing on Denmark’s life science ecosystem and experience in bringing medical technologies into production.

Phillips Medisize occupies a combined 8,900 m² across its high-tech facilities in Struer and Virum. Activities span product development, engineering, programme management and support for the transition into manufacturing, alongside medical device manufacturing and assembly.

The Danish organisation also provides quality, regulatory, validation and supply chain functions. These capabilities support its work on drug delivery products and other medical devices within the global Phillips Medisize network.

For the company, the ability to connect development and manufacturing within its Danish operations is a key advantage. Close interaction between research and development teams and production staff brings engineering expertise and practical manufacturing experience together.

Phillips Medisize identifies Denmark’s engineering and technical workforce as a central strength. Its Danish operations draw on the expertise of engineers, technicians, operators and specialists with experience across medical technology, pharmaceuticals and life sciences.

The company also highlights strong English proficiency, an international outlook and a quality mindset as advantages when serving global customers.

Access to specialised talent nevertheless requires careful planning. Competition for experienced specialists can be intense, and some competencies are difficult to recruit within a relatively small talent pool. To bridge these gaps, the company actively draws on global candidate pools, bringing international talent to Denmark to strengthen its local operations.

Phillips Medisize’s current focus in Denmark is on operational and commercial stability, maintaining its global market position and creating the conditions for future growth.

The Danish organisation is expected to remain an important contributor to global product development and launch support, building on its existing capabilities in medical device development, innovation and manufacturing.
