AGFA HealthCare announces a strategic step to further strengthen its partnership with AXIM in South Africa

As part of this evolution, AGFA HealthCare has decided to transfer its local legal entity, including business operations, customers and employees, to AXIM.
With over 25 years of experience, AXIM offers a portfolio of radiology, laboratory, surgical, nuclear and oncology solutions. Their expertise lies firmly in radiology solutions; they act as a one-stop shop for imaging from consumables and equipment to design and construction. Backed by a strong national footprint and an expanding presence across Sub-Saharan Africa, AXIM is supported by more than 60 field-based technical specialists. The organisation delivers end-to-end imaging IT solutions across the full project lifecycle – from initial discovery and deployment to ongoing support and optimisation.

Silvio Selvaggio, Regional President for Direct Export and LATAM regions, is pleased to reflect on the ambition:
“AGFA HealthCare’s partnership with AXIM is driven by many factors, not least because they are uniquely positioned to drive growth and elevate customer support through a strong local footprint; they have the ability to operate across the entire country efficiently. It is important to highlight that AGFA HealthCare is not exiting the South African market – to the contrary – our goal is to strengthen our presence and increase our success in the region. This move aligns with our global approach – to focus on strong strategic partnerships that can deliver local presence, market agility, and clinical empowerment.”
Brett Edwards, Managing Director for AXIM comments:
“This transition represents a natural evolution of our long-standing partnership with AGFA HealthCare. It enables AXIM to further strengthen our position as a leader in imaging and healthcare in South Africa.
Our priority is clear: to ensure seamless continuity for AGFA’s Enterprise Imaging customers while enhancing service delivery, responsiveness, and long-term value. By integrating these operations, we are not only preserving a trusted installed base – we are building a stronger, more agile platform for future innovation and growth.”
This move reflects our continued commitment to the South African market through a strong local partner, ensuring continuity, proximity, and long-term value for our customers.
