Vygon, a specialist single-use medical devices group, has acquired Macatt Medica, a distribution company located in Lima, Peru. The company distributes the majority of Vygon’s products in Peru, including a wide range of enteral nutrition products. The financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.

With this acquisition, Macatt Medica will become a fully owned subsidiary; boosting Vygon’s presence in South America. Its 21 employees will be joining Vygon’s staff.

“We are delighted that Macatt is joining the extended Vygon family and, in particular, that this will enable us to strengthen our presence on the market for active medical devices,” said Michel Hanania, vice president for the Latin America region at Vygon. “This product range will complement the one that we have developed alongside our branch in Colombia, in the area of single-use ‘consumable’ products, which will enable us to offer a comprehensive range of products to our South American client base.”
