Healthcare textiles touch people’s lives every day. They contribute to comfort and dignity, help caregivers carry out their work and play an important part in how healthcare and laundry services operate.
At MIP, we believe even small improvements can make a meaningful difference. That belief guides how we develop our products, support our customers and build relationships with our partners.
Founded in Canada in 1977 by Jerry Friedman, MIP began as Med-I-Pant, manufacturing and supplying reusable briefs for adults living with incontinence. Its starting point was simple: understand people’s needs and develop products that meet them.
David Schreiner joined as a partner the following year, helping build the customer relationships that would support the company’s growth. That combination of practical innovation and close customer relationships continues to shape MIP today.
In September 2013, MIP's ownership group expanded with an investment from Banyan Capital Partners. Today, MIP is owned by senior management in partnership with Banyan. Banyan's approach is to partner with management teams, combining their experience and expertise with extensive capital resources to help build and grow their portfolio companies.
Today, MIP supplies healthcare textile solutions to customers in Canada and more than 30 other countries worldwide. We have offices and facilities in Montreal, Canada; in the United Kingdom through MIP UK (Med-I-Pant UK Ltd); and in mainland Europe through MIP Europe GmbH, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Our European teams serve customers across the region, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
The continued success would not be possible without the support of our dedicated team of employees and business partners, our devotion to teamwork and our core values as reflected in our Beliefs and Corporate Directional Plan.
