Acquisition of Woodbury Holdings

 

 

Reading, United Kingdom (20 July 2017) 

 

ConvaTec Group Plc ("ConvaTec"), a leading global medical products and technologies company, has agreed to acquire Woodbury Holdings ("Woodbury" or "The Company"), a US-based independent national distributor of incontinence and catheter-related supplies, from MTS Health Investors LLC for an enterprise value of $120.5 million.

 

Woodbury provides an extensive array of incontinence and catheter products, as well as nutritional, enteral feeding and vascular compression supplies. The Company has national distribution across the U.S., delivering directly to customers in the home environment.

 

With this acquisition ConvaTec Americas will create a new home distribution business unit for catheter and incontinence related products, encapsulating the U.S. distribution companies of 180 Medical, Symbius Medical, South Shore Medical Supply, Wilmington Medical Supply and Woodbury Health Products.

 

"The addition of Woodbury contributes to our growth strategy for the Continence & Critical Care Franchise and builds on the success of our 180 Medical business, which we acquired in 2012. 180 Medical is the largest retailer of intermittent catheters in the U.S. It has a differentiated, proven business model with strong customer focus and satisfaction," said Paul Moraviec, Chief Executive Officer of ConvaTec. "The addition of Woodbury will provide further breadth and reach to our new Home Distribution Group and further consolidate our leading position in this market, expand customer relationships and provide greater choice direct to US consumers."

 

"ConvaTec, 180 Medical and Woodbury share a common commitment to improving the lives of people with continence issues and a dedication to providing quality products, together with distinctive service and personal support. We look forward to working with our Woodbury colleagues to bring our comprehensive end-to-end suite of services to even more customers."

 

Woodbury's senior management team will remain with the Company.

 

Upon completion of the transaction, earnings from Woodbury Holdings will be immediately accretive to the financial accounts of ConvaTec Group Plc.
