Medical acquisition to create new jobs
The acquisition of Pavillion Medical provides Aegis Healthcare, which is based in Shelley, West Yorkshire, with a dedicated manufacturing arm, coupled with product development expertise, and will give Aegis “immediate access” into the bariatric market, a branch of medicine that deals with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity.
The firm said it plans to create three to five new manufacturing jobs within the next six months and establish a technology hub at its base near Huddersfield.
