“Italprotec is a prominent company within its niche and strengthens Indutrade’s cluster of companies within MedTech and Pharma”, says Bo Annvik, President and CEO of Indutrade. “The acquisition is also a milestone, being Indutrade’s first acquisition in Italy. We are very pleased to welcome the Italprotec team to the Indutrade family.”
