Milan, March 2025 – Polygon Group (owned by HIG Capital), the European leader in the field of integrated management and maintenance of biomedical equipment with over 160 million in revenues and 800 employees, enhances its position in the imaging segment by acquiring a majority stake in HCE Healthcare Consulting & Engineering of Mercato San Severino (SA) (www.hcesrl.it). HCE, led by Marco Melfi, is today one of the most interesting independent Italian companies in the field of high-tech equipment maintenance.
The acquisition represents a further step in the growth of the Polygon Group aimed at the continuous strengthening of its technical skills and capabilities. With the contribution of HCE, Polygon Group expands the range of high-tech equipment on which will be able to offer highly qualified maintenance services, and strengthens territorial coverage, benefiting the quality of services, with concrete benefits for health facilities, hospitals, clinics and independent service providers.
Angelo Maresca, CEO of Polygon, explains: “We are very pleased with this acquisition which represents a further step towards strengthening our imaging department. Thanks to the integration of the two companies, both Polygon and HCE will be able to provide their customers with a better service: more widespread and with a wider range of skills. This acquisition will bring new growth opportunities for all and help to further consolidate our leadership in the industry.”
This integration will also bring social benefits in the South of Italy. The company’s objective is now to activate “a centre of expertise in the field of high-tech diagnostic imaging maintenance”, as revealed by Marco Melfi. “We intend to create in Campania, with the help of Polygon, a real “Academy” in which to train up young talents by intensifying the already consolidated relationships with universities and technical institutes both at local and national level.”
A project that will be implemented as soon as possible, as Angelo Maresca assures: “We have great regard for the quality of the management and employees of HCE. In the coming months we will work closely to improve teamwork activities, with a focus on our staff, who are considered the real drivers of success of our company. For the Polygon Group, training young people is a mean to find motivated and trained personnel and at the same time a way of giving back to the society and the communities which host them, helping to ensure that young people can find their place in the workforce”
