Getinge acquires Key Distributor in Ireland
As part of the Group’s
strategy to strengthen its distribution network, Getinge
Industrier has acquired all of the shares of Lenken Healthcare
(Ireland) Ltd. The company has sales of around SEK 65 Million and
58 employees, with sales offices in both Northern Ireland
(Belfast, head office) and the Republic of Ireland (Dublin).
Lenken has been a distributor of
the group’s hygiene system, patient handling and
antidecubitus products for over 20 years and has developed a
market share of over 50% in Northern Ireland. The future
development of the business will focus on increasing its sales
and market share in the Republic of Ireland.
It is calculated that the
acquisition will have a positive impact on the Group’s EPS
with effect from 2001.
