IXOM has acquired Hilditch Group Ltd for an undisclosed amount. Hilditch Group provides comprehensive, sustainable resale solutions for redundant, surplus, and decommissioned medical equipment to hospitals and healthcare organisations across the UK and Europe. This acquisition strategically expands IXOM's capabilities in the healthcare asset management sector.
Beyond an auction marketplace, Hilditch Group offers expert valuations, secure specialist logistics, and diverse sales channels. Its in-house Medical Engineering team provides critical services like data protection, servicing, and repairs. This robust approach mitigates risks and maximises value for sellers and buyers, actively supporting the healthcare circular economy.
This acquisition by IXOM is a strategic step leveraging Hilditch's established expertise and extensive network in medical equipment resale and lifecycle management. It allows IXOM to integrate a proven platform championing sustainability and efficiency within the healthcare sector. Hilditch Group’s strong focus on environmental and social value, including a zero-to-landfill policy, aligns with contemporary corporate responsibility objectives.
Expected synergies include enhanced operational efficiencies and an expanded service offering for healthcare clients. Hilditch Group’s specialised services, from project management and site clearances to medical engineering and asset valuation, will complement IXOM’s broader operational framework. The combination is poised to deliver a more comprehensive solution for managing valuable medical assets throughout their lifecycle.
The integration of Hilditch Group into IXOM creates a combined entity well-positioned to meet the growing demand for sustainable and efficient management of medical equipment. This acquisition reinforces a commitment to advancing the healthcare circular economy, providing robust solutions that minimise waste and maximise the utility of critical medical assets for healthcare providers.
