Major German healthcare company acquired by Air Liquide, trend continues

摘要

Air Liquide has further strengthened its presence in the home healthcare market with the acquisition of Optimal Medical Therapies (OMT) - a major German company in this sector. Founded in 1998, OMT, which has 45 employees, provides home healthcare services for around 5,000 patients and generated annual sales revenue of ?28m in 2013. The company is recognised for its expertise in home infusion services that include immunotherapy, pain management, and the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and Parkinson's disease. Its integrated offer combines prescribed medication, high technology medical device, and patient services that enable the latter to be treated at home rather than at the hospital, which in turn promotes a greater sense of autonomy.
