“Proceeds from the sale will finance the expansion of the injection systems business,” said a statement. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of the year, subject to regulatory approval of the ongoing demerger.
In November, the company announced the start of the process of selling its diabetes care business. Following a comprehensive marketing phase involving both strategic and financial buyers, TecMed “emerged as the ideal partner to take over Ypsomed’s diabetes care business”.
