Boule has acquired technologies that will be used for the next generation platform for the 5-part segment
Through this acquisition Boule will get access to new technologies in the field of laser optics that will be adapted to Boule’s requirements and be used in combination with internally developed technologies for the next generation product platform. The acquisition will reduce time to market for the next product launch in the fast growing 5-part segment, and simultaneously reduce development cost and risk.
The acquisition is made through Boule’s subsidiary Boule Medical AB and the seller is Drew Scientific, Inc. The purchase price is USD 3 million, out of which USD 750,000 will be paid upon completion of the technology transfer, expected to occur within twelve (12) weeks.
The acquisition is not expected to have an impact on earnings per share in the current fiscal year.
”Through this acquisition Boule will get immediate access to new technologies that will be used for the next generation platform, and we will reduce time to market and strengthen our product portfolio in the fast growing 5-part segment. This is in line with our previously communicated strategy to develop new product platforms and broaden the product portfolio through partnerships and acquisitions” says Fredrik Dalborg, CEO and President, Boule Diagnostics.
