CooperCompanies president and CEO Al White said: “We’re improving our international fertility footprint, especially within the Asia-Pacific region, and adding highly synergistic and respected labour and delivery devices to our ObGyn portfolio.

“These high-quality products will integrate seamlessly into our business and support CooperSurgical’s vision of a world with healthy women, babies and families.”

The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and local consultation obligations.

For a two-year transition period, Cook will continue to produce products for CooperSurgical and will also increase its production capacity to keep up with growth upon completion of the transaction.
