Since our foundation in 1986, growth and innovation have always been at the core of Atos Medical. In close collaboration with health care professionals, leading institutions, and our end users, Atos has developed the laryngectomy field and standard of care we have today. With our design solutions and technologies, we are committed to giving a voice to people who breathe through a stoma.
Today
We have more than 30 years of experience within laryngectomy care, subsidiaries in 19 countries, and over 750 Atos employees worldwide.
Atos Medical is owned by PAI Partners, one of the leading private equity companies in Europe, together with Atos’ board of directors and management team.
2015
To be closer to our consumers and markets, Atos opened a new headquarter office in Malmö. Our R&D center and manufacturing site remains in Hörby.
2014
Determined to give more people the freedom to speak hands-free, we launched Provox FreeHands FlexiVoice, which can be used with our most advanced adhesive Provox StabiliBase.
2013
Further international expansion took place outside of Europe by establishing subsidiaries in Japan and Brasil in 2013, in the south of Europe with a subsidiary in Italy, and expansion into several countries in the Nordics.
2012
To meet growing demand, we expanded our R&D and manufacturing site in Hörby, which now houses injection molding, assembly, a tool shop, quality control, packaging, warehousing and over 150 of our employees.

In order to support and accelerate Atos’ growth-oriented strategy, EQT acquires Atos Medical from Nordic Capital.

Using the Netherland’s Cancer Institute’s medical expertise, Atos Medical’s capabilities within silicone injection molding in the medical technology industry, the development of an indwelling voice prosthesis with low airflow resistance for easy speaking began.
