David Navazio, Gentell President & CEO
Said Navazio, “Gentell’s acquisition of Casex facilitates and enhances our growth in South America by taking advantage of existing relationships and product registrations, while at the same time enabling opportunities in the U.S. to expand our ostomy product line.”
Founded in 1985, Casex operates manufacturing facilities in Brazil and Paraguay and ships its products throughout South America and around the world. Casex is a leader in the ostomy products field, producing colostomy bags, ileostomy, accessories and dressings. It also manufactures advanced and traditional wound care products.
Navazio says, “I’m especially excited about our Casex acquisition because our corporate cultures are so compatible which will enable us to hit the ground running, but also more quickly take advantage of the “1+1=3″ growth concept as we continue to build Gentell around the world.”
Gentell is the largest vertically-integrated wound care manufacturer in the world, with manufacturing plants in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and South America, as well as facilities around the world. The company manufactures and supplies efficient, affordable patient-specific wound care products to nursing homes, home care, hospices and other care settings. It has also developed highly advanced wound care record-keeping and logistics delivery systems to its customers.
