Linde acquires homecare company Calea France SAS

Noticias corporativas

  • Annual revenue in 2011: EUR 28 m

  • Will complement Linde's existing operations in the European homecare market

 

Munich, 17 December 2012 – The technology company The Linde Group has signed an agreement to acquire the homecare company Calea France SAS (Sèvres, France). Calea generated revenue in the 2011 financial year of EUR 28 m with around 200 employees. The transaction is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2013.

Calea will complement the European homecare operations acquired by Linde from Air Products in spring. The acquisition will significantly improve Linde’s position on the French homecare market.

Homecare is the term applied to medical services relating to the treatment of patients in settings other than hospitals. It comprises respiratory services such as oxygen therapy, sleep therapy and ventilation services. In France, Linde’s portfolio also includes Infusion, Nutrition and Insulin Therapy.

Calea is Linde's third acquisition in 2012 in the promising healthcare business. In April, the Group acquired Air Products' Continental European homecare business and in August it concluded its purchase of the US homecare company Lincare Inc.

Linde's pro-forma annual revenue in the healthcare product area is now around EUR 3 bn, which makes it the largest supplier of medical gases and related services in the world.
