Siparex-backed Poste Italiane, the Italian postal service provider, agreed to acquire a 70% stake in Plurima, a provider of hospital logistics and medical data management and storage services, for €91m. "Plurima, born from an intuition of my father Tito 40 years ago, becomes partner of Poste Italiane. The common goal is to put in place the respective abilities and competences in order to continue the development of an even more innovative and far-reaching project throughout Italy. I am sure we will create with Poste Italiane a large infrastructure for the healthcare logistics of our national system at the service of the citizen, with the determination and the enthusiasm that has always distinguished us," Luca Marconi, Plurima Executive Chairman.
