Halma has a highly sustainable growth model. We are focused on maintaining our companies' growth and returns over the longer term, while delivering performance in the shorter term.
We do this through a combination of acquisitions, venture partnerships and organic growth.
We are highly disciplined in sticking to our strategy of growing and acquiring businesses aligned to our purpose, in global niches in markets with long term growth drivers.
We invest for the future. We continually invest in our business and our people to make sure we maintain strong positions in these markets now and into the future.
We bet on talent. We insist on exceptional leaders who are empowered and accountable to set strategy and grow their own businesses.
Our performance is underpinned by a unique set of organisational and cultural characteristics. We call this Halma’s DNA.
We believe this gives us a competitive advantage that creates the conditions for sustainable growth now and into the future.
Halma's DNAWe want to partner with people and organisations who share our purpose.
We seek to acquire good businesses in markets with long term growth drivers and aligned to our purpose, and then invest in them and help them grow.
The Divisional Chief Executive who represents Halma in the deal process becomes the Chair of the newly acquired business. The strategic rationale and growth strategies are then jointly put into action as soon as the deal is closed.
We are careful to choose businesses who are niche specialists and who know their customers and their markets. Through our Growth Enablers we can then help them take their business to the next level. Whether that's through international expansion, finding the right talent, or through overcoming technological barriers.
Our acquisitions also benefit from immediate access to the Halma network, with over 40 global niche specialists ready to collaborate, share ideas and work together.
We have established hubs in the UK, USA, China and India that provide expertise, operational support and market knowledge. These hubs give companies the means to grow their business faster in these regions.
If you are a business in one of our end markets looking for your next period of growth, then Halma is the place to come.
