Krapina-Zagorje is the green hill country north of Zagreb, a spa and rehabilitation county with a distinctive health profile.
Krapina-Zagorje lies immediately north of Zagreb, a densely settled county of wooded hills, castles and thermal spas. Its health profile is shaped by a notable rehabilitation and spa-medicine sector alongside the general hospital, and its proximity to the capital pulls specification toward Zagreb standards.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. The partner program places that catalogue behind businesses operating in Krapina-Zagorje. Buyers here include the general hospital and the specialist rehabilitation hospitals at Krapinske Toplice and Stubičke Toplice, the health centres serving Zabok and Krapina, the county emergency medicine service, and private dental and diagnostic practices.
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Krapina-Zagorje. The business models differ; the catalogue behind them does not. The right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and sales materials and product support are provided. It suits consultants and independent representatives who know how a hospital purchasing group evaluates a submission and how the tender calendar runs. Agents in Krapina-Zagorje often specialise in rehabilitation hospitals or the general hospital.
The distributor track carries territorial responsibility. A distributor represents MediGear across an agreed country, region or territory and develops that market actively, whether the scope is one province, a pairing of neighbouring provinces, a language community, or national coverage of a single product group. Purchasing happens at distributor level for onward supply, territorial rights may be exclusive or otherwise, and market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination form part of the arrangement. A distributorship here covers the country, frequently held alongside the Zagreb territory.
Resellers purchase at wholesale and supply onward independently, using a medical business, online establishment, sales network or customer base already established. Commercial terms with the end customer are determined by the reseller, and order quantities remain flexible rather than predetermined. Because the arrangement confers no territorial or official distribution rights, it carries neither territorial commitment nor market development obligation. Resellers here run a medical supply business serving the county practices.
A partner here works a county with an unusually strong rehabilitation and spa-medicine sector alongside acute care. Companies entered in the Croatian court register with a genuine route to healthcare buyers are eligible, and the businesses that apply are usually:
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying hospitals around Krapina.
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
Online medical supply businesses and e-commerce operators
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
Laboratory, dental and rehabilitation equipment resellers working across Krapina-Zagorje
Category record counts for more than turnover. A company with a record in rehabilitation or the relevant speciality is read ahead of a larger trader claiming general coverage.
A partner weighing up Krapina-Zagorje is working with the following.

County seat and regulator are fixed; commercial territory in Krapina-Zagorje is settled in the agreement. Partner coverage of the wider country is set out on the Croatia partner page.
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets. Terms are confirmed in writing before the first order.
Full product catalogue. Partners quoting buyers around Krapina draw on one range: certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.
Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry, and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation, including items outside the current catalogue. Partners in Krapina use it most for department refits.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the MediGear team by email, so a partner working across Krapina-Zagorje can concentrate on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns to put in front of buyers across Krapina-Zagorje.
Regulatory support. Import guidance, certification documentation and links to local regulatory consultants for registration questions raised by buyers around Krapina.
County tenders are documented in Croatian, and Croatian-language labelling and instructions are expected for the devices supplied under them. Regulation (EU) 2017/745 governs every medical device placed on the European market, setting classification, conformity assessment and post-market obligations that apply before any supply arrangement starts. Market surveillance, vigilance and the national registers sit with the Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices, whose guidance is published by HALMED.
Distributors and importers must, under the Regulation, verify CE marking and the declaration of conformity, check that labelling and instructions are in Croatian, keep traceability records and forward complaints. Notification of devices placed on the Croatian market goes to HALMED, within the EU medical devices framework.
The county borders Zagreb, so imported consignments arrive from the capital or the port of Rijeka on a short road journey. Import formalities for goods entering from outside the customs union are handled by the Croatian Customs Administration under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

A partner with a rehabilitation record reaches demand a generalist would miss. Businesses buying rather than selling can use the MediGear buyer route, and manufacturers seeking distribution should look at the supplier program.
Audit readiness is the first reason partners cite. EU-funded equipment projects are reviewed after the fact, and documentation that survives that review protects the buyer as well as the supplier.
The rehabilitation sector is the second. Krapina-Zagorje's spa and rehabilitation hospitals buy specialised equipment the average county does not, and a partner who understands that demand reaches it.
Capital proximity is the third. The county sits within the Zagreb commuter belt, so a partner can service it without the travel a remote territory involves.
This page is published for general business and information purposes and is not an offer of partnership. MediGear reviews all applications, and approval is not guaranteed. Any partnership that proceeds is governed by the written terms agreed between MediGear and the partner. Product availability, category coverage, territory arrangements, commercial terms and any commission or margin structure vary by application and may change. The regulatory information here is general information about the Croatian framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, together with the national notification and Croatian-language provisions administered by the Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices (HALMED), depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes. Partner businesses in Krapina-Zagorje remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.
Apply with your business details, the parts of Krapina-Zagorje you cover and the track that interests you. The MediGear partnerships team reviews every application and will come back to you to discuss it.
Companies entered in the Croatian court register with a genuine route to healthcare buyers may apply. Krapina-Zagorje has a distinctive rehabilitation and spa-medicine sector, so applicants with a record in that field are particularly well placed. All eligible categories appear in the list above.
Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock. Authorised distributors represent MediGear in an agreed territory, purchase at distributor level and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
Joining is free. No registration charge, subscription or upfront payment applies to the agent, distributor or reseller tracks in Krapina-Zagorje. Partners purchase the products they resell and meet their own trading overheads, such as local delivery, storage and any marketing run beyond the assets MediGear provides.
Agents earn commission on confirmed sales rather than a retainer. The rate depends on the product category, the order value and the volume you bring, and is confirmed in writing before you begin introducing buyers. Because agents hold no stock and carry no inventory risk, earnings simply follow completed orders.
It does. The county's spa and rehabilitation hospitals buy physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and recovery equipment on a scale the average county does not, alongside the general hospital's acute needs. A partner with a record in rehabilitation equipment meets demand here that a generalist would miss. The catalogue covers the category, and the sourcing team handles items outside it.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors able to demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, and are assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new product category. A territory may be one province, a group of provinces, a language community, or national coverage of one product group.
Yes. A device must carry a CE marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, with conformity assessment appropriate to its class, before it is placed on the European market. Member States may add national notification and language requirements on top of that, so confirm what applies to each device before quoting a buyer in Krapina-Zagorje.
Yes. Labelling and instructions for use are expected in Croatian for devices supplied to users, and tender documents in Krapina-Zagorje usually make the requirement explicit. Devices intended solely for healthcare institutions may, in some cases, be supplied in another language the user reads, so confirm the position per product.
