It’s about time.
It has been quite a while since we’ve heard about a specialty pharmacy acquisition. Over recent years there was a race to the top to acquire the remaining ‘gems’ that were primed for acquisition. Suddenly that well ran dry.
The news detailed below isn’t quite on par with those earlier big acquisitions. Two ‘relatively’ small companies will result in BioMatrix growing again. They have had several other small add-ons to bolster size and scale. The most recent acquisition of InfuCare will open new therapeutic avenues for BioMatrix, especially with infusion services. Those with any hands-on experience in the infusion market know that running an infusion shop is much more complicated than traditional (pick-pack-ship-service) specialty pharmacy.
So, turn back the clock quite a few years to when specialty pharmacies grew both organically and by scooping up relatively small organizations especially if they were acretive. It would not be surprising, therefore, to see BioMatrix emerge as a much larger organization should it continue to follow that strategy and become a gem in its own right.
