Meditek: 25+ years and way to go!

“It all started with a thought – understanding the needs of hospitals completely and manufacturing the best in class hospital beds and other ancillary products to suit the exact needs and requirements of patients, doctors etc that ultimately creates a win-win situation for all of us. And it was with this thought that paved way for setting up of Meditek in the year 1989,” says Anil Phirke, Founder and current Chairman cum Managing Director. A qualified mechanical engineer by profession, Phirke had spent many years working with reputed organisations like Crompton Greaves etc before starting Meditek.

It’s been 25+ years since then and Meditek has already established its brand name in the market. Being a proactive player in understanding the ever changing requirements of the healthcare industry, Meditek has keenly observed and implemented all the relevant requirements and improvisations in their various categories of products to surpass the expectations of the healthcare industry.

“Customer comes First! – is what we have always believed and worked towards,” says Anil Phirke. And that is why Meditek is so much appreciated and accepted in the market. Delivering the best in class quality products that undergo rigorous quality check procedures across various phases during manufacturing is what gives Meditek an edge over others. The company boasts of modern in-house state-of-the-art manufacturing units such as hydraulic bending, shearing and pipe bending machine, eight tank pre-treatment plant, epoxy powder coating plant and a modern assembly and welding set up. Continuous R&D, regular client feedback, backed by prompt sales and service support is what keeps customer delighted and satisfied.

Parag Phirke who joined Meditek later has been instrumental in adapting the products to the real time market requirements. A qualified mechanical engineer, he is a deep thinker as well. “In the current situation of the fast changing healthcare industry, it is imperative for us to customise our products to very much suit the actual needs of customers and for that reason innovation is one thing that we can’t do without.” And truly its been effortless innovative thoughts of Parag that Meditek has been really been able to go the extra mile in transforming their products.
