NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Thermo Fisher Scientific today announced it has
signed a definitive agreement to buy reagents manufacturer Fermentas
International for $260 million in cash.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter and is not anticipated to
have a material impact on Thermo Fisher's 2010 financial results, the company
said in a statement.
Based in Burlington, Ontario, with principal operations in Vilnius,
Lithuania, Fermentas employs about 500. In 2009, it posted revenues of about
C$57 million ($54 million).
Among the products offered by Fermentas are reagents for nucleic acid and
protein purification, restriction and modifying enzymes, molecular weight
markers, and other life science research and diagnostic tools. It also offers
various products for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription PCR,
and quantitative PCR.
The acquisition of Fermentas will allow Thermo Fisher to better meet the
demands of cellular and molecular biologists "for complete workflows that can
accelerate their research and improve results," said Marc Casper, president
and CEO of Thermo Fisher.
In March, Thermo Fisher completed its acquisition of Finnzymes, whose product
portfolio includes proprietary DNA polymerases. Together, the Fermentas and
Finnzymes acquisitions, along with the recent launch of Thermo Fisher's
Solaris qPCR assay "enables us to strengthen our depth of capabilities in the
high-growth PCR market," Casper added in the statement.
