Pentax Europe acquires the rest of Pentax Italia

This further investment by Pentax Europe GmbH into the Italian healthcare market strengthens Pentax Medical’s position in Italy. Established in 2007, Pentax Italia was co-owned by Pentax Europe GmbH and Movi S.p.A., an Italian distributor of healthcare products. Pentax Italia has increased its sales of endoscopy products and services over this time, leading to Pentax Europe GmbH’s decision to acquire full ownership. Commenting on the acquisition, Rainer Burkard, Managing Director Pentax Europe GmbH and President Pentax Medical EMEA said: “Italy has been a strong market for Pentax Medical and we are keen to continue our growth and bring our market leading products and services to as many customers in Italy as possible. To that end I am really pleased that Pentax Italia will now be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pentax Medical, and thank Movi for its support and contribution to Pentax Italia’s development.”
