Company Profile

The company was found in 1999 by Dr. Johannes Schmidt-Tophoff , who still owns 82% of the shares, and has remained independent from PE, individual radiologists or the industry. Mr. Schmidt-Tophoff and Frank Vogel manage the Curagita group of company together with an experienced leadership team.

In the past 25 years we have been building and managing the largest, cooperative network of 400 private radiologists in 100 imaging centers, 70 departments across Germany. Our services to the members of our network include (external) practice management, consulting in restructuring, M&A, personnel, billing and marketing as well as services in the areas of quality, equipment or IT. Moreover, we are a leading German group purchasing organization for contrast media, consumables of all kind, MRI/CT and IT. 

Our history is that of a serial entrepreneur in radiology e.g. 2004-2008 with the introduction of a full range of self-developed, -produced contrast media generics to EU markets or 2010-2022 with a leading cooperative buy & build comprising 30 high med imaging centers in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Dresden with 70 radiologists and 400 employees that generated revenues of 50 Mio. €. In 2022 we sold the chain including the shared services to the German market leader. 

From then on we have been active in pan-European contrast media generics, in personnel placement of foreign talent (technologists, radiologists) aided by an app, in vendor-neutral remote scanning of MRI with employed techs, in AI with an on-premise platform for clinical, technical and administrative AI solutions and in international buy & build of imaging centers and hospital departments, notably in the Arabic hemisphere (JV with the National Bank of Egypt). In parallel we fully digitalized our core business model. 

For our ventures we look for smart growth capital or international partners with regional or functional synergies. Please turn to Mr. Schmidt-Tophoff at jstcuragita.com.
