Det lilla företaget från Timmersdala har genomgått många faser under sitt liv. Bl. a deltog Elos i utvecklingen av professor Brånemarks tandimplantat. Nu är Elos Medtech ett stabilt företag i Västergötland och med verksamheter i många länder, med huvudkontor i Lidköping. Elos tar ytterligare ett steg genom att köpa Onyx Medical, USA. På Elos blogg finns några intressanta artiklar.
MedTechbloggen vidarebefordrar Elos pressrelease:
Elos has entered into an agreement to acquire US based Onyx Medical Corporation, a leading supplier of Trauma and Extremities products to the top Orthopaedics companies. Swedish based Elos is one of Europe’s leading solution partners in the development and manufacturing of high precision products and components used in medical technology, such as dental and orthopaedic implants and instruments. Operations are conducted at facilities in Sweden, Denmark and China.
The acquisition of Onyx is part of Elos’s well-defined strategy to focus entirely on the Medical Device Industry while strengthening market positions in target growth segments within Orthopaedics such as Trauma, Spine and Extremities. With a presence in Europe, Asia and the US, the combined entity will be better positioned and have an increased ability to serve the global market. Onyx Medical employs 120 people at their US facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and generated 2014 sales of USD 16 million. The acquisition will have a direct positive impact on annualized earnings per share as well as other ratios.
The deal is expected to close in April 2015, after which Onyx will continue its existing operations as a business unit within the Elos group and serve as a platform for expansion within the United States.
