Partner Acquisition extends presence in Enteral Nutrition Sector
Mar 16 2022
Single-use medical devices group Vygon has acquired Macatt Medica, a distributor of its products in Peru, including an enteral nutrition range.
The acquisition has brought the Lima-based operation into the company as a fully owned subsidiary, having retained its 21 employees while boosting Vygon’s presence in South America.
“We are delighted that Macatt is joining the extended Vygon family and, in particular, that this will enable us to strengthen our presence on the market for active medical devices,” said Michel Hanania, vice president for the Latin America region at Vygon. “This product range will complement the one that we have developed alongside our branch in Colombia, in the area of single-use ‘consumable’ products, which will enable us to offer a comprehensive range of products to our South American client base.”
“It’s a big step forward for Macatt to become Vygon’s Peru subsidiary; we are already working closely, distributing its products; this takeover is a natural progression for our company,” said Manuel Catalan, CEO of Macatt Medica. “This acquisition is an opportunity for Macatt to boost its presence on the distribution market for enteral nutrition products, while at the same time becoming part of a group which shares the same values as us.”
Founded in 1997, Macatt Medica has been distributing Vygon products since 2010. Its turnover rose to €1.7 million ($1.9M) in 2021.
