Earlier this week at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Thermo Fisher Scientific CEO Marc Casper said 2021 is going to be a year that sees the company quickly accelerate its long-term plans, including a full pipeline of M&A deals. He wasn’t kidding.
Buoyed by revenues from COVID-19 testing over the past year, Thermo Fisher announced that it has now acquired Henogen, Novasep's viral vector manufacturing division, for about €725 million or $878.2 million in cash.
Henogen provides contract manufacturing services from formulation to packaging across two locations in Belgium, and maintains over 75,000 square feet of production space and about 400 employees—a recently increased workforce, as the company gears up to support COVID-19 vaccine production.
