Scott Chen, CEO of Apex Medical, commented: “With SLK’s strong Germany presence, we’ll be able to further enhance our service levels and distribution efficiencies in that region.”

The acquisition will provide Apex Medical with a range of new products for the homecare and post-acute care market place, with SLK’s product ranges specialising in pressure care, Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC), bariatric care and patient moving and handling.

Additionally, the move will enable SLK to gradually move into the hospital arena, where it can benefit from Apex Medical’s presence and offering in that market with lines including its Serene mattress range and its Pro-care range.

“We’re proud to be part of a corporation like Apex Medical that continues to invest in healthcare solutions,” said Oliver Otte, Managing Director of SLK.

According to Apex Medical, it will add SLK’s IPC and hoists as new supplements to Apex Medical’s product line.
