SunTech: International growth through acquisitions

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) allows healthcare providers to assess blood pressure during a patient’s daily routine, instead of when sitting nervously in the doctor’s office. This provides more accurate readings over a longer period, enabling clinicians to make better informed decisions. National health authorities across the world are starting to use blood pressure measurements to catch potential cardiovascular diseases at an earlier stage, so accuracy is critical. 

As a market leader in motion tolerant blood pressure measurement, SunTech’s technology provides valuable diagnostic information that other monitoring systems are incapable of measuring. SunTech had been looking to expand into Europe and Meditech was the natural choice. Founded in 1990 in Budapest, Hungary, Meditech has established itself as a European market leader in ABPM. SunTech’s relationship with Meditech goes back many years, with Meditech manufacturing SunTech’s first ABPM product, the Oscar. 

Meditech has a deep knowledge of blood pressure monitoring and additional expertise in the measurement of heart activity. Their specialist regulatory knowledge of the European market will also help SunTech expand its international reach and deepen its application knowledge. SunTech, with Halma’s help, can also accelerate Meditech’s growth with expansion of global market access and new innovations.
