What Jackson Allison does

Jackson Allison Medical & Surgical Ltd is a privately held New Zealand medical consumables distributor founded in 1981, headquartered at 56 Lunn Avenue, Mt Wellington, Auckland, with branch offices in Wellington, Rotorua, and Christchurch providing nationwide coverage. The company specialises in sourcing and supplying medical and surgical consumables — wound care and compression, urology and continence, anaesthesia and respiratory, clinical apparel, sterilisation packaging, theatre and surgical supplies, general medical, and consumer/retail medical products — to New Zealand healthcare facilities including hospitals, surgical centres, and clinics.

The company operates a multi-brand distribution model representing at least 19 international manufacturers including Flexicare (UK respiratory devices), SPS Medical (France, sterilisation packaging), WaterJel (US burn care), VBM Medizintechnik (Germany, airway management), E Surgical (electrosurgery), Haddenham (lymphoedema), Sutherland Medical (Australian wound care/orthopaedics), Pennine Healthcare (urology), Salter Labs (respiratory), DeRoyal, ConMed, Swann Morton, Salter Labs, Sapi Med, REDA, and others. Distribution runs through three channels: a territory-based direct field sales force staffed by product specialists with nursing, CSSD, or anaesthetic technician qualifications; a physical branch network; and a direct e-commerce storefront at jacksonallison.nz.

Revenue is generated through unit/wholesale pricing of medical consumables in NZD (excluding GST), with contract pricing available for long-term supply arrangements. The company is bound by the MTANZ code of conduct and is a member of the Medical Technology Association of New Zealand and Independent Medical Distributors of New Zealand. Leadership includes General Manager Tracey White and Group CFO Paul Hurtley; the company is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investment, or M&A activity. The business model is fundamentally a specialised B2B medical distribution franchise with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software product, or technology platform beyond a standard e-commerce site.
