The Directors of Paragon Care Limited (ASX: PGC) are pleased to announce that the acquisition of GM Medical Pty Ltd was settled earlier today. The company announced on the 20[th] April 2011 that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the business of GM Medical Pty Ltd for a total consideration of $1.85 million.

Founded in 2002, the GM Medical business specialises in the supply of and distribution of quality healthcare products for the acute and aged care market throughout Australia and New Zealand (www.gmmedical.com.au).
