About Surgical Holdings
Founded in 1988 and based in Southend-on-Sea, Surgical Holdings is a trusted British manufacturer with over thirty years of experience in the manufacture and repair of surgical instruments.
Proudly ISO 13485 and CE Mark accredited, we are skilled craftsmen and suppliers of surgical instruments, specialist products and orthopaedic implant manufacturers to both the NHS and private sector organisations across the globe.
However, manufacturing and repairing surgical instruments is only part of our story. At Surgical Holdings, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of quality, precision and service in everything we do. This commitment is rooted in a heritage that dates back to 1910, when George Poole established a successful surgical instrument business built on exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
More than a century later, those principles continue to shape our approach. As part of STILLE AB, Surgical Holdings combines its long-standing British manufacturing expertise with the strength and resources of an internationally recognised medical technology group, enabling us to continue supporting healthcare professionals with high-quality products and services around the world.
The instruments we manufacture and repair at Surgical Holdings are responsible for saving lives, and this is a responsibility we take very seriously. We do not simply promote a bland list of products, we are passionate about the work we do, the standards we meet and we genuinely care about the positive effects it has on our customers, patients and stakeholders.
Our ongoing mission is to educate our stakeholders on what they should be demanding from their surgical instruments and the standards of repairs they receive. Whilst continually supplying high quality instruments and products and ensure the repair services we offer are the highest in the UK marketplace. There is no compromise, we believe instruments should be repaired with the same care and value, as they were originally manufactured.
This is why we only employ the most dedicated, highest-skilled surgical instrument technicians, and why we rigorously control every aspect of the products we repair and manufacture. We also only select the most innovative high-quality esteemed products for distribution.
Additionally, our carefully selected range of supporting distributed products are always serviced and repaired by our in-house team, to the same rigid specifications as were used in their construction.
To ensure the very best service, we regularly refine and innovate our company processes and techniques. We like to use our expertise to elevate our product range, to ensure they provide a solution. This was the thought when we launched the Duo Finish Range and introduced unique performance coatings. Our customers appreciate the in-depth expertise we are able to offer as a dedicated and customer-focused organisation, because they can be confident that we care about quality and value as much as they do.
We frequently welcome visitors to our friendly Southend-on-Sea workshop and encourage them to chat with our technicians. Our visitors often talk about the passion and knowledge that so clearly comes across, and we enjoy nothing more than helping to educate others. This is why we also make a regular effort to attend community events and informative workshops.
We believe that our unique blend of skill, dedication and passion for quality is what elevates Surgical Holdings well above our competition. These are also the reasons why we have not only endured, but thrived, for over thirty years.
