STERIGENICS ACQUIRES ITALIAN STERILISATION COMPANY GAMMARAD

摘要

Sterigenics International, a global provider of contract sterilisation, gamma technologies and medical isotopes based in Deerfield, Illinois, US, has acquired Gammarad, Italy's leading gamma sterilisation provider, for an undisclosed sum. Gammarad, established in 1969 and located in Bologna, provides gamma irradiation sterilisation services for the biomedical, pharmaceutical, food packaging, and cosmetics industries. The acquisition follows an active year of expansion for Sterigenics. In March, the company bought Food Technology Service for an undisclosed sum, and in August acquired Nordion for US$826m. Sterigenics CEO Michael Mulhern said that in addition to these acquisitions, the company has committed more than $32m in growth capital to expand existing facilities across the Americas and Europe.
