IXOM has acquired Hilditch Oils for an undisclosed amount. Hilditch Oils, operating across the UK and Europe, specialises in providing a complete and sustainable resale solution for redundant, surplus, and decommissioned medical equipment. The company positions itself as a key player in the healthcare circular economy, assisting hospitals and healthcare organisations in managing their assets.
Beyond an auction marketplace, Hilditch Oils offers a comprehensive suite of services including expert valuations, secure logistics, and direct sales. A core component of its operations is an in-house Medical Engineering team responsible for data protection, servicing, and repairs of medical devices. This integrated approach aims to mitigate risks and maximise value for both sellers and buyers in the used medical equipment market.
This acquisition is strategically significant for IXOM, enabling it to integrate Hilditch Oils’ established expertise and European market presence. The addition of Hilditch Oils’ specialist services in medical equipment lifecycle management, including its engineering capabilities and focus on sustainability, is expected to create synergies that enhance IXOM’s overall service portfolio. The deal represents an opportunity for IXOM to expand into the vital healthcare equipment resale sector, leveraging Hilditch Oils' robust operational framework and commitment to the circular economy.
The combined entity is anticipated to strengthen its position as a provider of sustainable solutions within the healthcare sector. By integrating Hilditch Oils' comprehensive asset resale model, IXOM is poised to offer an extended range of services, aiming to deliver enhanced value to a broader client base and support the ongoing drive towards more sustainable healthcare practices.
