Sopro acquires Comeg
The French firm Sopro, a subsidiary of the Acteon Group, has acquired the German company Comeg.
Sopro produces medical endoscopy equipment (cameras, light sources, insufflators, irrigators), as well as cameras and digital imaging devices for dentists. Comeg produces endoscopes for abdominal surgery, urology, arthroscopy, gynaecology and ENT. Their merger has resulted in Sopro-Comeg and will result in close co-operation between the different R&D departments of both firms and the Acteon Group working in the five production sites, which benefit from about 60 engineers specialised in electronics, mechanics, computer engineering, chemists and biologists.
Sopro-Comeg places itself as a global leader in endoscopy and will specially invest in R&D, in production capacity and service to its customers.
Sopro-Comeg is managed by Pierre Montillot, CEO of Sopro. The managers of Sopro-Comeg GmbH are Eugen Weimer, Managing Director of the Tuttlingen plant, and Bernd Seide, Sales & Marketing Director of the Sopro-Comeg Group.
