LATHAM, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for oncology, vascular access, and peripheral vascular disease, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its NAMIC® fluid management portfolio to Medline Industries, Inc. for $167.5 million, subject to customary closing conditions including antitrust review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
The transaction consists of AngioDynamics’ NAMIC brand and its extensive offering of manifolds, contrast management systems, closed fluid systems, guidewires, disposable transducers, and interventional accessories. Additionally, AngioDynamics’ primary Glens Falls, New York manufacturing facility, including all related manufacturing jobs and the sales & marketing teams that support the NAMIC business, will be acquired by Medline as part of the transaction.

We are excited that this strategic transaction will enable us to accelerate highly-focused investments in our key therapeutic areas including Oncology and Thrombus Management.”
Mr. Clemmer added, “Through this acquisition, Medline gains a deeply experienced and dedicated workforce with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, dependable devices that clinicians trust to provide the best patient care.
