Nordic Market Entry for Surgical Device Company

The Challenge

A European surgical consumables company sought to establish a direct commercial presence in the Nordic market, replacing an underperforming distributor network that had delivered flat revenue for three consecutive years.

Our Approach

We conducted a comprehensive market assessment covering procurement dynamics, competitive positioning, and customer segmentation across all four Nordic countries. Based on this analysis, we designed a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct key account management with selective distribution partnerships. We also restructured the pricing strategy to align with Nordic tender mechanisms and value-based procurement.

Results

• 27% revenue growth in the first 18 months
• Secured contracts with 12 major hospital groups
• Reduced distribution cost by 15% through channel optimization
• Established direct relationships with 40+ key opinion leaders
