By GlobalDataCooperCompanies agreed to acquire Cook Medical to enhance its reproductive health portfolio in 2022, however the FTC emphasised the importance of market competition in a statement and engaged regulators in Australia and the UK to investigate the deal, leading to the subsequent abandonment of the deal.
In the announcement accompanying the collaboration, C2Dx CEO Kevin McLeod said: “Our partnership will enable us to invest further in our team, capabilities, and offerings, so we can grow faster and continue providing excellent service and products to our customers.
“Our acquisition of Cook’s OHNS product family is transformative for C2Dx, and consistent with the strategy we developed when we partnered with Shore.”
