Medical equipment giant mergers and acquisitions frenzy
Headed by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, the world's number one drug company's aura, Roche is on the road to expansion. From the acquisition of Genetech many years ago, to the rumored Roche in June to acquire GSK, Roche insisted on the diagnosis field, and even more crazy mergers and acquisitions were finally staged in August this year.
Roche crazy acquisition road
On August 13, Roche spent $425 million to acquire GeneveAVE BioScience, an in vitro diagnostic company; on the 19th, it announced the acquisition of Kapa Biosystems, the US gene technology company; on the same month, it announced the acquisition of Lumora's accounting purification technology for sequencing sample preparation.
On October 10, according to foreign media reports, Roche's 580 million US dollars acquired California Adheron Therapeutics.
Just in late August last year, Roche spent $8.3 billion to acquire InterMune, a US biotechnology company.
It can be seen that Roche can't stop on the road of acquiring biotech companies. The price is not a matter at all, just a word - buy!
Another M&A madman - Medtronic
On the road of crazy mergers and acquisitions, Roche is not alone. Those medical giants have joined in, and the cost of mergers and acquisitions has also been higher than one wave. The merger of medical equipment industry can be described as hot.
Medtronic, the global medical device giant, completed 10 mergers and acquisitions in a year (since July last year), frequent acquisitions, and shocked the entire circle of friends.
Since 2015, Medtronic has made great strides in investing in M&A. After completing its business acquisitions in Visualase, Reverse Medical, SapiensSteering Brain Stimulation, NGC Medical, and Sapheon in 2014, it announced another $42.9 billion in price in January this year. The acquisition of Kehui Medical became the world's largest medical device acquisition case. With this, Medtronic jumped beyond Johnson & Johnson to become the world's largest medical device company.
Do you think this is over? This is far from finished!
After that, Medtronic acquired another company such as Aptus Endosystems, CardioInsight Technologies, Sophono, Diabeter, and Advanced Uro-Solution.
New product of U85 micro laser distance sensors use highly focused class 2 laser to detect objects or measure distances, and can return a measured value via varieties intface( serial, usb, rs232, rs485, bluetooth etc.). The electronic distance sensor is a very small Laser Distance Sensor, but high resolution up to 1mm and long distance measuring sensor - teachable measuring range of up to 30m. Extremely accurate distance sensing sensors, errors down to ± 1mm. And the mini sensors and measurements support continuous measurement function, great for compact solutions(eg: robots) with the smallest Laser Distance Sensor of the world!
