Vygon announces the acquisition of Macatt Medica, a Peruvian distribution company

With this acquisition, Macatt Medica becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary, strengthening Vygon's presence in South America.

The company distributes the majority of Vygon's products in Peru, including a wide range of enteral nutrition products.

"We are delighted that Macatt is joining the great Vygon family and, in particular, that this will enable us to strengthen our presence in the active medical devices market," said Michel Hanania, vice president for the Latin America region at Vygon. "This product range will complement the one we have developed with our branch in Colombia, in the area of single-use 'consumables' products, enabling us to offer a complete range of products to our South American customers."

"It's a great step forward for Macatt to become Vygon's subsidiary in Peru; we already work closely together, distributing its products; this acquisition is a natural progression for our company," said Manuel Catalan, CEO of Macatt Medica. "This acquisition is an opportunity for Macatt to strengthen its presence in the enteral nutrition product distribution market, while integrating a group that shares the same values as us."
