Merz Aesthetics Expands Irish Operations with DMI and ACRE Partnerships

Leading aesthetics company Merz Aesthetics® has strengthened its presence in Ireland through the appointment of two new distribution partners, DMI and ACRE, as part of a strategy to expand its footprint and enhance support for healthcare professionals across the country.

The company said the partnerships represent a significant milestone in its growth plans for the Irish market, combining DMI’s established national infrastructure and aesthetics expertise with ACRE’s digital capabilities and customer service solutions.

Under the new arrangement, DMI will support the distribution of Merz Aesthetics’ portfolio of products and clinical solutions throughout Ireland. The company brings extensive experience in the healthcare and aesthetics sectors, alongside a strong Irish heritage and nationwide reach.

With over 22 years of experience supplying products and supporting Irish dentists, medical practices and HSE clinics, DMI has built a trusted reputation for their customer-first approach, reliable next-day delivery and extensive portfolio of products.

It officially launched its aesthetics division in October 2025.

ACRE, meanwhile, will provide enhanced service capabilities, including a streamlined ordering platform, dedicated account management and ongoing digital innovation designed to improve efficiency for healthcare professionals.

Merz Aesthetics said the dual partnership model will help ensure practitioners have seamless access to products and support services, while also strengthening the overall customer experience.

Simon Shawe, General Manager of DMI, welcomed the collaboration, describing it as a natural fit between the two organisations.

“We are delighted to begin working with Merz Aesthetics and to support their continued growth with DMI’s portfolio of innovative products and clinical solutions,” he said.

“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to quality, education and delivering outstanding patient outcomes across the aesthetics sector.”

Sophie Charretour, Country Manager for Merz Aesthetics UK & Ireland, said the appointments demonstrate the company’s long-term commitment to the Irish market.

“Partnering with DMI and ACRE represents our commitment to strengthening Merz Aesthetics’ presence in Ireland,” she said.

“DMI’s strong Irish heritage, nationwide infrastructure and proven expertise in aesthetics – combined with their focus on reliability, service excellence and long-term partnerships – are fully aligned with our ambition to provide best-in-class support to Irish practitioners and patients.

“In parallel, our collaboration with ACRE brings a strong focus on service excellence through ongoing digital innovation and dedicated account management to ensure a seamless and efficient experience for healthcare professionals.”

The partnerships are expected to deliver improved access, greater operational efficiency and enhanced support for practitioners, ultimately contributing to better outcomes for patients and supporting the continued growth of Ireland’s aesthetics sector.

This announcement comes as ACRE Ireland continues to expand its operations in the market, recently opening a new HPRA-licensed facility in Citywest, Dublin. The development marks a significant milestone for the company and further strengthens its presence within Ireland’s medical aesthetics sector.

Part of ACRE Aesthetics Limited and the wider CST Pharma Holdings Group, the new facility has been established to provide Irish clinics and practitioners with direct access to premium aesthetic products through partnerships with leading global brands, including Merz Aesthetics
