Avantik Partners with Service Specialists of America
Avantik, a well-regarded provider of products and service solutions tailored for diagnostic laboratories in the U.S., has announced a strategic collaboration with Service Specialists of America (SSA) on February 4, 2025. This partnership aims to bolster Avantik's service network in the Midwest while furthering its national expansion goals.
Based out of New Boston, Michigan, SSA brings a wealth of experience and resources that will enhance Avantik's existing field service capabilities, especially in areas like anatomic pathology, histology, and dermatology labs. With this merger, Avantik not only strengthens its presence in the Midwest but also broadens its support for histology laboratories that serve leading hospitals and healthcare provider networks in the region.
This latest collaboration marks Avantik's third significant acquisition over the past year, signaling a robust effort to expand its geographic reach and enhance the range of solutions it provides to customers.
Mark Zacur, the CEO of Avantik, emphasizes the company's commitment to supporting diagnostic labs in delivering accurate and timely diagnoses. He stated, “Service Specialists of America is another step in enhancing our diagnostic lab expertise, national service coverage, and inventory of equipment and consumables to ensure our customers have the right equipment operating at maximum capacity.” This initiative reflects a broader vision to offer comprehensive solutions tailored to the unique needs of diagnostic laboratories across the nation.
Since its inception in 1971, Avantik has established itself as a trusted partner for anatomic pathology, histology, and dermatology laboratories. Their impressive inventory includes high-quality consumables and equipment, alongside a dedicated national network of field service engineers who play a crucial role in maintaining the essential operations of diagnostic labs. Avantik's proven rapid response times and extensive product offerings are key drivers behind their high customer satisfaction ratings.
In 2023, Avantik partnered with Water Street Healthcare Partners, further solidifying its legacy in providing reliable and effective solutions for diagnostic laboratories. This partnership aimed to enhance Avantik's operational capabilities and resource availability to better serve its clients.
On the other hand, Service Specialists of America has earned its reputation since 1981 by focusing on supporting histology laboratories across Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, ensuring their equipment is maintained and repaired efficiently. Their growth aligns with the needs of the Midwest's prominent hospitals and healthcare provider networks, making them the ideal partner for Avantik in this expansion effort.
This partnership not only illustrates Avantik's ambition for national growth but also its strategic approach to providing a one-stop shop for laboratory equipment and services. By integrating SSA's expertise and workforce, Avantik aims to ensure that its customers receive unmatched support and access to high-quality resources that are crucial for their operations.
As Avantik continues to invest in its capabilities and expand its service offerings, they reaffirm their commitment to being a comprehensive solution provider to diagnostic labs. The collaboration with Service Specialists of America stands as a testament to this dedication, as they work hand in hand to enhance the functionality and efficiency of diagnostic laboratories in the evolving healthcare landscape.
