Two of the world's most respected assistance, medical, safety and security solutions providers, Exploration Logistics Group and MEDEX Global Solutions, have merged to form Frontier MEDEX Group. Together they deliver a fully integrated, worldwide assistance, medical, safety and security service, ranging from remote medical clinics, insurance and travel intelligence to medical and political evacuation.
Global CEO, Tim Mitchell, makes clear the potential of the new company. "This merger is timely and significant. The world has already witnessed our rapid response capabilities in both Tripoli and Cairo, where we were first on the ground to evacuate more than 600 civilians from unexpected injury, unrest and rioting.
"At a time when we face growing environmental and political instability, Frontier MEDEX is uniquely positioned to help individuals and organisations achieve their global ambitions and fulfill their duty of care in a world of increasing uncertainty."
With three decades of operational excellence in the world’s most challenging environments, UK-based Exploration Logistics Group has pioneered remote site medical and safety solutions. Through its divisions Frontier Medical, Medekit and Exlogs Safety, it has set medical standards for the oil and gas industry and enabled governments, NGOs and organizations to work effectively and safely in hostile locations.
US-based MEDEX Global Solutions has delivered emergency medical and security assistance and intelligence services, including emergency evacuation, aviation security and protection for corporate travelers and individuals worldwide since 1977. Through MEDEX Insurance Services, MEDEX provides insurance coverage and other services to millions of travelers, expatriates and students.
From war zones to holiday homes, Frontier MEDEX delivers fully integrated medical, safety and security solutions focused on prevention, intervention and response, including:
- A world-class travel assistance infrastructure
- First world standards of primary and emergency medical care in remote and hazardous locations
- A global network of practicing medical specialists and resources

President and chief operating officer Americas, Bruce Kirby, explains the strengths of this new organisation and the innovation it brings to new marketplaces: "What excites our people and customers around the world is our ability to deliver our services across all sectors and all locations. So, whether your challenge is sending your sales team to India, operating a deepwater oil rig off the coast of Brazil, or embarking on a first exchange trip to Paris, Frontier MEDEX has the proactive, global, medical, safety and security solutions you need to achieve your goals."
The merger follows a recent investment into the combined entities by specialist minority investor, MML Capital Partners. Management and founding shareholders of both businesses have invested alongside MML.
