Following the acquisition, approximately 10% of DuPont’s consolidated revenue is set to come from healthcare.

Spectrum has more than 2,200 employees and specialises in the advanced manufacturing of medical devices and components, with a strategic focus on key fast-growing therapeutic areas such as structural heart, electrophysiology, surgical robotics and cardiovascular.

DuPont aims for the acquisition to enhance its strategic objective of delivering specialised materials and solutions into end markets with long-term secular growth. This includes its foothold in medical packaging.

DuPont CEO Ed Breen commented: “Spectrum is a compelling strategic complement to our existing healthcare portfolio. With this combination, we’ll be able to offer customers additional innovation and manufacturing capabilities with a broader and more integrated solution set.”
