Acquisition

Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies focused on growing a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day, today announces that it has acquired Lamidey Noury Medical. 

Founded in 1947 and headquartered close to Paris, Lamidey Noury manufactures advanced electrosurgical and associated energy devices which are used in minimally invasive urology, gynaecology, and general surgery. Its products are sold to healthcare providers in over 60 countries.

Marc Ronchetti, Group Chief Executive of Halma, commented: 

"Lamidey Noury is an exciting acquisition which will bring new minimally invasive surgical product capabilities to our Healthcare Sector. Its advanced products improve patient outcomes and the efficiency of healthcare providers in treating the increasing incidence of urological and gynaecological disease. It is adjacent to our existing presence in diagnosis and biopsy devices for these diseases through Rovers Medical Devices and IZI Medical. We are delighted to welcome Lamidey Noury to Halma and look forward to supporting its development as it continues to scale its business globally."
