Partner with MediGear in Šiauliai
Šiauliai County covers northern Lithuania, joining Šiauliai city and district with Akmenė, Joniškis, Kelmė, Pakruojis and Radviliškis. The city is best known internationally for the nearby Hill of Crosses, and its airport hosts NATO air policing missions. Republican Šiauliai Hospital provides specialised care for the county, while smaller hospitals such as Joniškis Hospital keep emergency and inpatient services local. New 2026 rules for public hospitals are expected to bring longer-term funding contracts from 2027, which supports planning for equipment renewal.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. Its partner program opens that catalogue to businesses in Šiauliai selling into Republican Šiauliai Hospital, industrial and agricultural employers, dental practices, and the hospitals and health centres of Joniškis and Radviliškis.
Partnership Opportunities for Businesses in Šiauliai
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Šiauliai. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Become a MediGear Sales Agent
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. Representatives already known at the republican hospital and in the district towns can cover the county efficiently. Introductions often start with clinical department heads. A few established dealers serve the separate niche of dental and laboratory equipment in Šiauliai.
Become an Authorised MediGear Distributor
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — Šiauliai and its district first, then Joniškis, Kelmė and the other county towns. Products are purchased at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination are included.
Become a MediGear Reseller
Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network,k or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment and no market development obligation.

What You Get as a MediGear Partner

Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer, er and returns a documented quotation — including items outside the current catalogue.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the team by email, so you can focus on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery, and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in Šiauliai.

Medical Equipment Supply and Regulation in Šiauliai
Medical devices sold anywhere in the European Union fall under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which fixes classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties before any supply arrangement begins. National supervision of medical devices sits with the state health care accreditation agency, covering market surveillance, vigilance and registration; its guidance is published by VASPVT.
Lithuania has required economic operators handling devices to register nationally alongside European obligations, and Lithuanian-language labelling and instructions are expected for devices supplied to users. The wider structure is set out in the EU medical devices framework.
Anything shipped in from beyond the customs union is cleared by the Customs Department under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

Why Businesses in Šiauliai Work with MediGear
Republican Šiauliai Hospital is the main public buyer, with each department planning its own renewals. Equipment plans there range from patient monitors to CT and MRI scanners, and county practices keep ordering medical devices and medical supplies in Šiauliai.
Within the national hospital network, smaller district hospitals keep round-the-clock emergency care while gradually shifting beds towards day services, which changes their equipment needs.
Longer contracts with the health insurance fund, expected from 2027, give hospitals more predictable planning horizons, which favours partners offering service agreements rather than one-off sales.

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 Lithuanian framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and the national registration and language provisions applied in Lithuania, depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes in the supply chain. Partner businesses remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.

Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock.

No. Joining is free for businesses in Šiauliai. There are no registration charges, subscriptions,s or upfront payments required to become an agent, distributor, or reseller. Distributors and resellers purchase the products they sell, and partners arrange their own local delivery, storage, and any marketing they 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.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can demonstrate market reach, financial capability,y and alignment with MediGear standards, assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new category. Coverage of the whole county is common, and a medical and hospital equipment distributor in Šiauliai may add product group rights on top.

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 registration, notification and language requirements on top of that, so confirm what applies to each device before quoting.
Lithuanian-language labelling and instructions for use are expected for devices supplied to users, and public procurement documents normally require them. The precise scope depends on the device, its class, and its intended user, so confirm the requirement for each product before bidding.
