What Althea Group does

Althea Group is a privately held Italian-headquartered provider of integrated, vendor-independent healthcare technology management services, operating from Rome with regional operating hubs across Italy and 15 additional countries in Europe, North America, the UK, and emerging markets. The company serves public and private hospitals, NHS trusts, and national healthcare systems by managing more than 1.4 million medical devices across 2,700+ healthcare facilities with a workforce of approximately 3,000 specialized clinical engineers, biomedical engineers, technicians, and commercial specialists supported by four Centers of Excellence (Milan, Nashville, Theale, Mikolow) and nine specialized workshops covering endoscopy, surgical instrumentation, ultrasound probes, and diagnostic imaging.

The core service portfolio spans biomedical technology maintenance, diagnostic imaging services (including replacement parts and outsourcing), endoscopy equipment solutions, surgical instrumentation, integrated consumables management, and home care solutions, delivered through three commercial structures: Managed Equipment Services (MES), Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and turnkey projects. Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year subscription-style service contracts (typically 9-10 year terms with annual billing) and large-scale public tenders such as Italy's CONSIP framework and UK NHS procurements, with individual PPP deals disclosed in the EUR 56M-EUR 90M range.

The group was rebranded from Pantheon Healthcare Group in September 2017 after consolidating eight operating companies, and was acquired by F2i SGR, a EUR 6 billion Italian infrastructure fund, in May 2022, with UK operations separately acquired by DWS. CEO Alessandro Dogliani leads the group alongside Chairman Manik Pujara (appointed November 2024) and CFO Enrica Mambelli, with General Counsel Ilaria Ricci appointed in October 2025.
