The first, Carl Hartwig AS, was founded in Bergen in 1897 and served the healthcare sector in Western Norway. Its activities remained local until 1974, when it became nationwide. The company traded medical products and brought knowledge of the primary care and hospital segments to Medinor. The second company, Reidar Holmsen AS, was established in Oslo in 1936. Its main activity was marketing and sales within in vitro diagnostics and laboratory equipment. In 1987 the companies changed their name to Medinor. The two operations were merged in 1996. Medinor became part of Axis-Shield in 1999. Medinor AS is a full-line supplier to medical offices and medical centres for medical diagnostic equipment and consumables.
