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 life-cycle – 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.
