Cantel Medical’s Mar Cor Purification subsidiary acquires Gambro’s US water business
T
hrough its Mar Cor Purification subsidiary, Cantel Medical Corp has continued the expansion of its water purification and filtration segment by acquiring the exclusive rights in the USA to manufacture and sell Gambro’s water treatment products used in the production of water for haemodialysis. The total consideration for the transaction with Gambro is $23.75 million and the licensed business had pre-acquisition revenues of approximately $14 million. This transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to Cantel’s earnings per share in the first full year. Curt Weitnauer, President, Mar Cor Purification, commented: ‘The Gambro heatdisinfection central system is a great enhancement to our water-for-dialysis portfolio. These new products will help us address two major trends in dialysis water offerings – hot water disinfection and single patient treatment.’ ‘We will be able to provide our dialysis clinic customers with the broadest and most advanced array of water treatment alternatives from chemical to heat disinfection and single to multi-patient systems.’ Mar Cor Purification will immediately commence sales and service of all Gambro water products, components, parts and consumables solely intended for the US market place. These products
will be now made at the firm’s medical device manufacturing facility in Plymouth, Minnesota. Mar Cor Purification will also provide service and support to Gambro’s installed base of over 1200 clinics and hospitals in the USA. All US employees aligned with Gambro’s water business will be offered employment with Mar Cor Purification, which will help provide a smooth transition for all Gambro customers. Andrew Krakauer, President and Chief Executive Officer, Cantel Medical, added: ‘Building atop the success of our acquisition of GE Water & Process Technologies’ dialysis water business and other Mar Cor regional acquisitions, we are continuing to execute our strategy of marrying cutting-edge products with our nationwide service network to fulfil the needs of our customers.’ Contact: Cantel Medical Corp, 150 Clove Road – 9th Floor, Little Falls, NJ 07424-2139, USA.
