THREE GENERATIONS SPECIALISING IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT & HOSPITAL SUPPLIES

A family company founded in 1957, H. Nootens SA has maintained a tradition of professionalism and warmth inherited from its founder Henri Nootens. Although the company has grown along with the Belgian hospital sector, we have continued to work on maintaining a close relationship with our customers and suppliers. This privileged relationship gives us in-depth knowledge of the sector and the products placed on the market. Day after day, for three generations, we have used this knowledge in the service of our customers in the hospital sector.

From the man with the “Cocker Spaniel” to the exclusive distributor of renowned manufacturers.

At the start of his career, Henri Nootens worked as a sales representative in a large pharmaceutical company. His qualities as a salesman and his acute knowledge of medical products were clear to everyone. When he decided to set up his own business in 1957, he followed the recipe that had always brought him success: maintaining a special relationship with everyone and ensuring that every request was answered.

Accompagnied by his ever-present Cocker Spaniel, he made daily visits to hospitals and established special relationships with his contacts. He did not run the business alone: while Henri was out making his visits, his wife Gilberte Poels – Nootens actively took care of administrative aspects and the preparation of orders.

When his son Jean-Jacques Nootens took over, the company experienced a new boom, with a diversification into surgical equipment and medical devices required in the operating theatre. With medicine and hospitals constantly evolving, H. Nootens SA specialised in continuing to offer cutting-edge equipment to its hospital customers years-after-years.

Today, Henri’s grandchildren Valérie-Anne and Pierre-Henri, have taken over the company. Like him, they combine professionalism and warmth when leading their team, some of whom have been with the company for over 30 years. With H. Nootens s.a. enjoying autonomy and continuous improvement – two other important aspects of the corporate culture – the conditions are ripe to distribute a full range of high-quality products from multiple manufacturers.
