STRATEC signs agreement to acquire the BioSciences business of Sony DADC
Birkenfeld, June 8, 2016
STRATEC Biomedical AG, Birkenfeld, Germany (Frankfurt: SBS; Prime Standard,
TecDAX), today signed an agreement with Sony DADC Austria AG ("Sony DADC"),
based in Anif/Salzburg, Austria, to acquire all of the shares of its
BioSciences business, Sony DADC BioSciences GmbH ("Sony DADC BioSciences"),
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony DADC. The acquisition is
expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter 2016.
In the current financial year, ending on March 31, 2017, the company is
expected to generate sales of around EUR 17 million with slightly positive
earnings contributing to STRATECs EBIT. Based on current planning, the
management teams expect a continuously growing EBIT margin to reach the
current group's EBIT margin by 2020. The company valuation set in the sale
and purchase agreement amounts over EUR 30 million.
Building on Sony DADC's experience in high-precision optical disc
manufacturing, Sony DADC induced 6 years ago the formation of its
BioSciences business. Sony DADC BioSciences is a leading global OEM
supplier of smart consumables for diagnostics, life sciences and medical
technology applications. The company has a unique combination of skills and
