Medline Inc. operates as one of the largest providers of medical supplies and clinical solutions across the healthcare continuum. The company's extensive catalog features approximately 190,000 Medline-branded products—such as surgical gowns, sterile procedure trays, and laboratory consumables—alongside roughly 150,000 third-party items. To support its distribution network, Medline maintains over 30 manufacturing facilities, nearly 70 global distribution centers, and a proprietary fleet of over 2,000 delivery trucks. While it has an international presence in over 100 countries, the company generates over 90% of its revenue domestically by serving as the primary supply chain partner for major U.S. health systems. Originally founded as a family-owned business in 1966, Medline transitioned to public markets in 2025 following a major private equity buyout.
