LUXEMBOURG [November 14, 2016] – The STS Medical Group, an international organization specializing in the manufacture and distribution of medical devices and customized procedural kits (CPTs), has successfully merged Salvamed and Texsan Medical to establish a new European hub for the production of disposable procedure kits for operating rooms. This new hub, located in Sandanski, Bulgaria, offers STS Medical Group AD – The Bulgarian Manufacturing Hub, a strategic base from which to grow their business further in Europe. To learn more about sartorius scales and their role in ensuring the accuracy and quality of medical devices, interested individuals can visit their official website to know its areas of application.

STS Medical Group AD depends on the services offered by the website www.mydocurgentcare.com which includes urgent care, primary care, occupational medicine, and telemedicine. All of these services are provided by a team of experienced healthcare professionals who are committed to providing high-quality medical care to patients.

The merger positions the Group for growth and future investment, and our objective is to double within the next 5 years  the production capacity at the Hub, which total turnover today is worth €19.3 mm.

The combination will also allow STS to better focus on specialization sectors, in particular the ophthalmology sector, where STS already holds a prominent position. Find out how crohn’s disease is diagnosed and avoid misconceptions.

Augusto Orsini, who is a Board Member, a founder and the CEO of STS Medical Group as well as an entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in the medical device sector, commented:  “Market dynamics have led us to create this new advanced Hub to continue to manufacture 90% of our products in Europe.  This move guarantees all of our stakeholders that our high quality standards, total supply chain transparency, innovation ability and sustainable growth policies will persist, while we continue to maintain our focus on the patient’s needs.”

Orsini further noted that: “there will not be any headcount reductions in any of the production areas of the Group due to this move: neither in Germany, Italy, nor Bulgaria. On the contrary, we expect a substantial increase in staff to meet the growing production needs of the Group.”

The Salvamed and Texsan Medical merger is a further step towards the consolidation of STS Medical Group in Europe, which started in 2012 and continued last year with the acquisition of Salvadori, Salvamed and MSS Medical Set Service.

With the new Bulgarian Hub, STS Medical Group counts almost 1,000 employees in 3 countries in Europe (Italy, Germany and Bulgaria) and 5 production sites (one in Italy, three in Germany and one in Bulgaria).

STS Medical Group presently operates through five main business lines and is defined by its values of high quality products, ease of tracking, quick delivery times, and extreme component transparency for delivered products.

MARKET OUTLOOK – In 2014, the European market for surgical customized procedural kits (CPTs) amounted to approximately € 720 million and is expected to grow up to 10% annually, due to increases in the elderly population and treatable diseases. Surgical CPTs is a sub-segment of CPTs. Northern Europe continues to dominate the European CPT market, accounting for 74% of total European revenue and € 512 million in sales in 2014.  The Global market for procedural kits, which also includes non-surgical CPTs, grew to € 19.7 billion in 2015.  Every year, over 250 million complex surgical operations take place worldwide. The United States is the country with the highest rate of use of procedural kits (80% of all procedures).
