Acquisition of Hospital Services Limited

Asker Healthcare Group has, alongside HSL management, acquired Hospital Services Limited (HSL), a leading specialist distributor and services provider of medical equipment and related supplies, maintenance services and repairs to hospitals across Ireland and the UK.

“With the acquisition of HSL we are taking another step in our ambition to build the leading healthcare group in Europe within medical products and solutions. HSL has an attractive equipment and services offering that will complement our group well and further strengthen our scale benefits. The HSL team and their track record of building strong customer and OEM relationships while also being a local consolidator has truly impressed us. We see HSL as our base for future growth in the region and are looking forward to drive progress in healthcare together with HSL’s CEO Dominic Walsh and his team,” says Johan Falk, CEO Asker Healthcare Group.

“Over the past 60 years we have established ourselves as a trusted partner to the healthcare providers in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Great Britain and we are now one of the largest privately-owned medical equipment and service providers in the region. Becoming part of Asker Healthcare Group signifies a strategic step and will provide us with an even stronger offering with more innovative solutions to help to improve patient care. We are now ready for the next phase of our growth path,” says Dominic Walsh, CEO at HSL.

HSL’s product and solutions offering includes diagnostic imaging and detection equipment, surgical devices, patient monitoring equipment, and a range of healthcare and communication technologies which support healthcare professionals throughout the patient care pathway.

The company had 175 employees and net sales amounted to approximately SEK 800m in 2024.
