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.
