About Hugo Technology
Founded in 2001, Hugo Technology is a UK-based engineering services partner specialising in outsourced support for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of medical and laboratory equipment. We deliver manufacturer-standard maintenance, repair, calibration, installation, logistics and technical support services, helping OEMs extend service capacity, reduce operational costs and maximise equipment performance across the UK and Ireland.
Unlike traditional service providers, Hugo Technology works exclusively with OEMs and authorised distributors - we do not contract directly with hospitals, NHS trusts or end users. Every service is delivered as a seamless extension of our partners' organisations, protecting customer relationships, maintaining brand integrity and providing a consistent manufacturer-standard experience.
Supported by more than 50 field and workshop engineers across the UK, and strengthened by pan-European capabilities through the Asker Healthcare Group, we support complex medical and laboratory equipment portfolios including in vitro diagnostics (IVD), digital pathology, imaging systems, patient monitoring, infusion therapy, anaesthesia, ventilation and other specialist healthcare technologies.
Quality, safety and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do. Our operations are certified to ISO 13485 and ISO 14001, and we are proud members of the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA), giving our OEM partners confidence that every service is delivered to the highest professional and regulatory standards.

Our Journey of OEM Partnership
Since 2001, Hugo Technology has grown from a small team in Worcestershire to a leading UK-based Independent Service Organisation (ISO) for medical and laboratory device manufacturers. Key milestones include achieving ISO 9001 (2006) and ISO 13485 (2016) certification, expanding to multiple facilities and employing over 50+ OEM‑trained engineers across the UK, joining the Asker Healthcare Group in 2024. Each milestone reflects our commitment to quality, scalability and long‑term partnership with OEMs.
Today, more than 20 OEM partners rely on us for pan‑European service delivery.
