PARAGON CARE COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF GM MEDICAL PTY LTD
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). GM Medical has developed an exceptional reputation within the healthcare industry for its unique ability to create innovative healthcare concepts as well as manufacture precision designed stainless steel and other medical related products.
The acquisition of GM Medical boosts the Company’s overall annualised sales to about $20 million and positions the Company as a leading distributor of durable goods to the health and aged care sectors.

“The Company sees the strategic acquisition of GM Medical as facilitating the need to develop and enhance our range of healthcare products. This will provide Paragon Care the opportunity to design and manufacture new and innovative product lines to meet the growing demands for quality products from the health and aged care sector”
