Update: Excellent strategic fit with integrated consumables

Stratec, a designer and builder of automated OEM diagnostic systems, has announced its intention to acquire an Austrian business that designs and manufactures complex precision consumables for high-end biomedical and diagnostic systems. This is an excellent strategic fit as it will allow Stratec to integrate high-value consumables into system designs and accumulate recurring revenues: Stratec expects a 20% CAGR to 2020 on DADC 2015 sales of €17m. Stratec is experiencing reduced Chinese orders and the guided 5% EBIT of DADC may lower the 2017 EBIT margin to 17%.
