A new marketplace has been established for used medical and laboratory equipment. PS Auction, a part of Europe’s largest auction network, is now stepping into the healthcare sector by offering used medical and laboratory equipment through auctions. And this is achieved through collaboration.
The initiative is being launched together with British Medical Auctions (BMA), which, alongside PS Auction, is part of the European auction group TBAuctions. BMA is a leading player in this field, with operations in the UK, France, and the Netherlands.
Through this collaboration, the companies benefit from each other’s reach, making auctions accessible to businesses both in Sweden and abroad. This provides smaller healthcare providers and research centers globally with access to high-quality equipment.
”Our bidders operate globally, so scaling up the reuse of medical equipment requires cooperation across borders. We believe together with PS Auction we can play a vital role”, says Markus Grad, CEO at BMA.
The new initiative aims to create a circular and cost-efficient solution for both healthcare providers and research institutions.
“We see a significant need for reuse solutions within healthcare and research. BMA is a pioneer in this field and has an established market for medical equipment. This collaboration clearly creates strong synergies, expanding the breadth of our offering and reaching more bidders,” says Per Henriksson, CEO of PS Auction.
The auctions will include a variety of products, ranging from endoscopy and diagnostic imaging equipment to surgical and ambulance equipment. All items sold are inspected to ensure their condition and compliance with applicable standards.
British Medical Auctions is Europe’s leading auction platform for medical equipment and, together with PS Auction, is part of TBAuctions—the largest B2B auction platform in Europe. With a global bidder base of over 750,000, BMA facilitates the exchange of medical equipment between sellers and buyers worldwide.
Since 1958, PS Auction has enabled the reuse of equipment, machinery, and heavy vehicles, allowing more companies to buy and sell sustainably while freeing up tied capital. PS Auction is one of Sweden’s leading auction platforms, extending the lifespan of over 100,000 items annually. Since 2022, the company has been part of the European auction group TBAuctions. The group as a whole handles 2.9 million items annually, has 30 million website visits per month, and employs over 900 people. The group also includes Troostwijk (EU), Klaravik (SE/DK), Vavato (BE), Auksjonen (NO), BMA (UK), DAB (DK), and Surplex (EU).
