Ampersand to acquire Vibalogics
US-based Ampersand Capital Partners has agreed to acquire process development and GMP manufacturing services company Vibalogics.
Ampersand typically invests $10-50m in companies with $10-100m in annual revenues. The firm is currently investing from its Ampersand 2018 fund, which held a final close on $450m in 2018.
This deal follows Ampersand's acquisition of GenDX in May 2019, a healthcare provider based in the Netherlands.
The company plans to strengthen and expand its position in the US and European markets following the transaction. It will also invest in additional process development and GMP manufacturing capabilities.
