Founded in 1966, the company serves a vast continuum of care, including hospitals, surgery centers, nursing homes, and home health providers, operating in over 100 countries worldwide.

Medline offers an extensive portfolio of over 335,000 medical-surgical products, including Medline-branded items, durable medical equipment, advanced wound care, and private-label goods. Beyond products, the company provides critical distribution services, supply chain management, clinical programs, and educational resources, positioning itself as a vertically integrated partner for healthcare providers.

In December 2025, Medline completed an initial public offering, listing on NASDAQ under the ticker MDLN, following a 2021 acquisition by a consortium of private equity firms.

The company recently faced a significant challenge with a fire destroying a distribution center in Tracy, California, in June 2026, and is actively expanding its distribution capabilities to mitigate the impact.
