Centurion Service Group (Centurion) is the market leader for selling surplus medical equipment and operates the world’s largest medical equipment auction house from its four locations in the United States. Centurion makes it easy for hospitals to manage their medical equipment assets and optimize their spend by monetizing used medical equipment through Centurion’s international marketplace. Medical equipment buyers from around the world acquire quality used medical equipment from the US’s leading hospitals at Centurion’s auctions. This enables hospitals throughout the world to have access to state of the art medical devices for their patients.
The acquisition of Centurion Service Group is intended to further drive focus to the area of medical equipment asset management at hospitals. Edward Chan, Principal at 1315 Capital, explains, “Maximizing the value of medical equipment spend plays a crucial role in helping hospitals provide better care. Centurion is the go-to platform to sell used medical equipment and is best positioned to guide hospitals in developing their asset utilization strategies.”
Erik Tivin, founder and CEO of Centurion, will be guiding his team to take the company to the next level. Erik is eyeing hospital connections to lock in more strategic value: “We can do so much more with our hospital partners to help them manage their medical equipment. Our goal is to add more value; value to hospitals discarding their medical equipment and value to hospitals needing that equipment.”
