This will further strengthen our premium position in the Medical segment. I am looking forward to welcome Endox to our Group, says Göran Björkman”, President and CEO of Alleima.
With strengthened and complementary capabilities, the acquisition of Endox enables forward-integration in the value chain of the medical industry. The product offering, certifications, and existing customer base of Endox will increase Alleima’s addressable market.
