Zimmer, US-based orthopaedic reconstructive maker, has acquired Normed Medizin-Technik, a German-based company, for an undisclosed sum.
Normed Medizin-Technik develops screws and instruments, including systems for bone reconstruction and fracture repair, fusion procedures and external fixation.
The acquisition of Normed will strengthen Zimmer's Extremities and Trauma product portfolios and new product development capabilities in the fast growing foot and ankle and hand and wrist segments.
With operations in over 25 countries, Zimmer's sales were about $4.5bn in 2012.
