Our vision is to transform the manufacturing and medical device sectors through sustainable practices, innovation, and advanced technology—driving growth that benefits both business and the environment.
Our value is grounded in integrity, quality, and innovation—guiding how we manufacture orthopedic implants, serve our clients, and contribute to the well-being of patients and communities.
In the heart of Barranquilla, Colombia's industrial district, IMEQ was born, a company dedicated to the manufacture of orthopedic implants and surgical medical instruments. It was founded by doctors specializing in orthopedics and oncology, who challenged the traditional way of working to care for patients, expanding the reach of their services to the community through the creation of the company and the industry itself in the country.
Due to the vocation of its founders, IMEQ's main motivation from the beginning has been to improve people's quality of life, and attention to detail in implant manufacturing has been its main driving force.
Over the years, IMEQ's implants and instruments were distributed throughout the country, with particular emphasis on the locked intramedullary nail. In the late 1990s, this was the flagship product that brought IMEQ national and international recognition, as the filing of its patent elevated it to the level of global medical device design companies.
In the 2000s, the company received a technology transfer from a renowned osteosynthesis factory in New Jersey, United States. This chapter is considered a turning point in its history because, from then on, a passion for patient care merged with a relentless drive for productivity using cutting-edge technology.
This has allowed its implants to expand into the Latin American market, with a presence in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, becoming a benchmark in the manufacture of products for the reconstruction of fractures and bone malformations.
Internationalization, combined with a commitment to quality, has motivated us to work tirelessly to modernize our production processes and standardize our procedures. This is reflected in our certification under ISO 13485:2016, the quality management system for the manufacture and marketing of osteosynthesis products.
Currently, the main focus of IMEQ's strategy is on industrial growth and the optimization of production processes to strengthen competitiveness in a globalized market. This, without forgetting the driving force behind it: the rapid recovery and quality of life of our patients.
From our roots in Barranquilla to becoming a regional leader, IMEQ’s journey is marked by innovation, precision, and a commitment to improving patient outcomes. Each milestone reflects our drive to deliver quality and advance orthopedic care across Latin America.
IMEQ was established in Barranquilla by orthopedic and oncology specialists, becoming one of Colombia’s first companies to manufacture medical implants locally.
IMEQ developed and patented the locked intramedullary nail, a milestone that earned national and international recognition and set a foundation for global credibility.
With ISO 9001:2000 certification and a technology transfer from a U.S. manufacturer, IMEQ strengthened its quality systems and modernized its manufacturing processes.
IMEQ extended its reach to Ecuador, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, adapting to diverse market needs and building reliable distribution partnerships.
Now ISO 13485:2016 certified, IMEQ is focused on industrial growth, process optimization, and continuous innovation—all with a focus on rapid recovery and quality of life.
