ARQIS advi\u00adsed Karo Health\u00adcare on the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion of Proc\u00adto\u00adse\u00addyl\u00ae from Bayer. The tran\u00adsac\u00adtion gives Karo the exclu\u00adsive distri\u00adbu\u00adtion rights to the OTC product in Italy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion adds a trus\u00adted brand that covers an often negle\u00adc\u00adted cate\u00adgory with untap\u00adped poten\u00adtial. We are exci\u00adted about the oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity to improve access to relia\u00adble treat\u00adments for Italian consu\u00admers and further expand our Italian busi\u00adness,\u201d said Matt Roberts, CCO of Karo Healthcare.<\/p>\n
The acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion was carried out as an asset deal, without person\u00adnel and produc\u00adtion faci\u00adli\u00adties, which redu\u00adces the commer\u00adcial risk and ensu\u00adres seam\u00adless inte\u00adgra\u00adtion. Karo will use its exis\u00adting infra\u00adstruc\u00adture and rely on estab\u00adlished part\u00adners in Italy.<\/p>\n
