The MBraun Group and CreaPhys announced earlier this year the execution of a definitive merger agreement whereby the MBraun Group would acquire the shares of CreaPhys GmbH. The merger agreement has now been unanimously approved by the Managing Directors of both companies and had been made official earlier in 2016.
By combining worldwide sales and service network of the MBraun Group with CreaPhys’ deep technological knowledge and strong working relationship with today's research community will ensure best in class products designed for customers all over the world.
The intimate contact to the worlds' leading researchers in organic electronics will sustain and foster the strong position of the MBraun Group in this field.
MBraun will focus on a new segment "Sublimination-Services and Equipment" that the company expects will broaden the range of accessible markets, create less dependence on particular established markets and will contribute to the growth of the MBraun Group.
Mr. Jens Drechsel, The Managing Director at CreaPhys GmbH said "As the newest member of the MBraun family we look forward to providing our full technological expertise in thin film deposition and material purification. It allows us to benefit from MBraun's strong worldwide market position, and to concentrate on our strengths on behalf of our customers. We expect to generate significant synergies for both parties. Additionally, the worldwide service network of the MBraun GROUP will allow a professional after sales and service experience with expedited response times everywhere in the world."
Dr. Martin Reinelt, The MBraun Group president and chief executive officer said, "The acquisition of CreaPhys accelerates MBraun's growth strategy in our thin film deposition technology, material purification, and vacuum sublimation business sectors. This acquisition also represents an important step as MBraun continues to transform its business to meet the changing needs of our customers in today's worldwide markets.
