Laborie Medical Technologies Inc. and Signet Healthcare Partners Close GI Supply Acquisition

BURLINGTON, Mass., October 1, 2020 – Laborie Medical Technologies (LABORIE), a leading diagnostic and therapeutic medical technology company, in partnership with Signet Healthcare Partners, a growth equity firm specializing in healthcare investments, announced the close of the acquisition of GI Supply, a leader in specialty endoscopy and paracentesis products for gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, and interventional radiologists.

GI Supply will continue to operate as an independent entity led by its CEO Kristi Dahlke, and its existing leadership team. Concurrently with the acquisition, Ashley Friedman, Managing Director at Signet Healthcare Partners, will join the board of directors at GI Supply.

“We are pleased to welcome this talented team to the LABORIE family,” said Michael Frazzette, President & CEO of LABORIE. “While we will continue to function separately from an operations perspective, we are excited about our commercial partnership in the U.S. This partnership enables both companies to offer healthcare practitioners a broad portfolio of innovative GI products to support their patients.”

Kristi Dahlke, CEO of GI Supply added, „The ability to continue to enhance our commitment to healthcare practitioners by increasing the scope of our product portfolio is truly something we value and it is a milestone in our strategic plan.“

LABORIE and GI Supply will continue to invest to grow organically and look for strategic acquisitions, particularly to rapidly expand into new, high-growth gastroenterology market segments.
