Acentus, a Tampa-based medical supply company founded in 2002, was recently acquired by Henry Schein, a Fortune 500 company based out of New York. Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Henry Schein has a trove of services in the medical industry including credit card processing for health care firms, medical equipment repair and referral systems for both patients finding clinical trials and professionals finding jobs.
“As the delivery of health care in the U.S. is increasingly provided in home-based settings, Henry Schein is strategically expanding our offerings to meet the growing demand,” says Stanley M. Bergman, CEO of Henry Schein in a statement. “With Acentus, we will strengthen our position nationally in the home medical supply market and better serve our valued customers, including clinics, physician practices, health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, and most importantly, patients and families.”
The move comes following recent acquisitions of Prism Medical Products LLC in 2021 and Shield Healthcare and Mini Pharmacy in 2023, the release adds.
Acentus does $35 million a year in revenue, the release states. Founders Brett Carroll, Todd Cianfrocca, Greg Duvall and Julio Valdivia will join the Henry Schein team.
Henry Schein was founded in 1932 in New York and has grown to generate $12.3 billion in revenue serving 1 million customers across 33 countries and territories.
