The acquisition of DiSanto Technology (DiSanto), a strategic partner to
Arcam
since February 2013, combines Arcam’s leading edge Additive
Manufacturing
technology with DiSanto’s full-service contract manufacturing
services for
orthopedic implants. Through DiSanto Arcam will offer customers,
including
industry-leading orthopedic and spinal implant companies,
manufacturing of
advanced EBM-based implants and other components.
The
combination of Arcam’s EBM technology and DiSanto´s know-how in
orthopedic
implant manufacturing will accelerate the market adoption of
Additive
Manufacturing in the implant industry. DiSanto’s expertise in
implant
engineering and production of finished components is thus expected to
leverage
Arcam’s EBM technology for Additive Manufacturing of orthopedic
implants.

DiSanto is a fully equipped and certified production facility for
the production
of finished orthopedic implants with approximately 100
employees. In the last 12
months DiSanto generated approximately USD 12M in
revenue and an EBIT of USD
0.6M. The total purchase price amounts to USD 15.8M
paid in cash and through the
execution of Arcam stock options issued to the
sellers in February 2013.

The acquired business will become a subsidiary of
Arcam and continue operating
with the existing management team. The acquisition
is expected to have a
positive effect on Arcam’s earnings per share in
2014.

“Through this acquisition Arcam’s offering will cover the entire supply
chain
for our customers: Metal powders through AP&C, acquired earlier this
year, EBM
systems and services through Arcam AB and finished products through
DiSanto. The
acquisition is thus in line with our growth strategy, it
complements our
technology and product portfolio, and it is immediately
accretive. We are very
pleased to welcome the skilled DiSanto team to the Arcam
group”, says Magnus
René, CEO of Arcam.

“With this deal we will be part of the
leading company in 3D-printing in metals.
This will enable us to help customers
in rapidly developing product applications
and to commercially produce products
for them with Arcam’s cost-efficient,
regulatory-cleared Additive Manufacturing
technology. Being part of a larger
group will also help in accelerating growth
to better serve the growing implant
market”,
says Ronald F. Dunn, President of
DiSanto Technology.

Viant Capital LLC acted as Arcam’s advisor in connection
with the acquisition.
