BSN Medical

BSN medical is a global leader in the worldwide healthcare market specialising in the areas of Orthopaedics, Compression Therapy and Wound Care.

In February 2006, Montagu led the Management Buyout of BSN medical, a 50/50 joint venture between Beiersdorf AG and Smith & Nephew plc.

BSN medical is a leading global player in the professional medical products market for general wound care, non-invasive orthopaedics and phlebology with operations in
25 countries, approximately 3,400 staff and revenues of €526 million in 2005.

Since its foundation in 2001, BSN's Management has successfully integrated the largely complementary product ranges and customer bases businesses contributed by the two joint venture partners and has established BSN as an independent company with strong brands, a reputation for high quality and a broad product offering, holding global No.1 and No.2 market positions in most of its product segments.

BSN is a text book example of a Primary Management Buyout since the company was restricted by the parents in its development and is now able to concentrate on complementing and extending its product portfolio organically as well as through add-on acquisitions supported by Montagu.
