Lyon, September 06, 2023
Nutrisens Group strengthens its position as a major independent European platform in clinical nutrition with the acquisition of Vitasyn Medical GmbH, a German specialist focusing on nephrology and oncology.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Vitasyn Medical operates on the German market and offers oral and enteral products for patients suffering from renal failure and end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis treatment, as well as for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Vitasyn Medical deals directly with pharmacies, hospitals, dialysis centres or homecare units and supports private individuals as well via the e-commerce channel.
With this acquisition, Nutrisens is pursuing its European expansion, setting up a subsidiary in Germany (alongside those in France, Spain, Italy and Portugal). The Group will also benefit from Vitasyn Medical’s expertise in renal and oncology areas reinforcing the multi-niche pathologies capabilities of the Group.
Nutrisens’ acquisition of Vitasyn Medical will give its local management the strategic resources to pursue its organic development by taking advantage of Nutrisens’ broader product portfolio and production capacity.
Georges Devesa, CEO of Nutrisens, comments: “It is key for Nutrisens to take care of Vitasyn Medical’s corporate culture and team. Thanks to Vitasyn Medical, Nutrisens will reinforce its expertise in nephrological and oncological pathologies and will continue to consolidate the market on niche therapeutic areas.”
Sabina Kühne, CEO of Vitasyn Medical, adds: “I am very excited about this partnership with Nutrisens which will help Vitasyn Medical’s team to accelerate its growth in Germany. I am looking forward to work with Nutrisens team to implement the identified synergies and contribute to Vitasyn Medical’s next phase of development.”
Arno Markwitan and Michael Lindenbacher, founders of Vitasyn Medical, conclude: “In 10 years, Vitasyn Medical has achieved a remarkable journey developing a strong and successful expertise on its market. Our wish was to pass on our company with the insurance that its future would be guaranteed and the team of employees trusted. We are delighted to have chosen Nutrisens to support Vitasyn Medical’s future growth.”
