Who We Are
Electramed was founded in 1972 and distributes and markets medical products and pharmaceuticals throughout the island of Ireland to hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. The company specialises in areas such as radiology, orthopaedics, trauma and pharmacy and has a mixed offering of consumable medical devices, licensed medicines and medical equipment.
Electramed was founded in 1972 by Eddie O'Grady who started the company from his home, selling tablet counting machines to retail and hospital pharmacies. The Kirby Lester KL7 electronic capsule counter was the first of its type in Ireland. Over the years, almost every retail pharmacy in Ireland would have used a Kirby Lester device and the company still supplies a version of the product today – 50 years later.
