A Family Story, Across Generations
MEDCO was founded in 1984 by the first generation of the family, with a clear vision: to create a dependable Irish uniform supplier built on quality, care, and personal service.
Today, more than forty years later, the next generation is actively involved in the business, continuing the family tradition while bringing a modern perspective to design, sourcing, and service.
This continuity ensures that MEDCO remains true to its roots — while evolving to meet the needs of today’s healthcare professionals.
Based in Macroom, Co. Cork, MEDCO is dedicated to supplying professional uniforms that healthcare teams can rely on — day after day.
For over four decades, we have worked closely with nurses, carers, clinicians, and service professionals across Ireland. What began as a small family business has grown into a trusted national supplier, while remaining true to our founding values: quality, reliability, and personal service.
Built on Care Since 1984
At MEDCO, we understand the demands of real working environments. Our uniforms are designed to support long shifts, frequent laundering, and constant movement — without compromising comfort or professional appearance.
We believe that when professionals feel confident and comfortable in what they wear, they can focus on what matters most: caring for others.
