Cantel Medical acquires GE water dialysis

Cantel Medical Corp has announced that its Mar Cor Purification division has completed the purchase of GE Water & Process Technologies' water dialysis business. With approximately 1,800 installations in North America, and revenues of approximately US$20 million, the acquisition expands Cantel's water treatment division by 50%, thereby increasing the importance of water purification in Cantel's infection prevention and control portfolio, the company said.

GE Water & Process Technologies, with its ZyzaTech and 23G water equipment, provides the ideal complement to Cantel's water purification and filtration segment, Cantel claims. The combined company will cover a significant portion of the dialysis clinics in North America and will enable Mar Cor to improve the density and efficiency of its service delivery network across 17 service offices and 6 resin regeneration plants.
