Our companies have comparable business models, and the acquisition will enable us to leverage Coloplast’s strengths to serve more people living with a neck stoma even better than today. Coloplast is a world leading medical device company with an impressive track record. I believe our companies are a great match, and I am confident that together we can accelerate our journey to the benefit of our customers worldwide,” Britt Meelby Jensen, Atos Medical CEO.
