Opto Circuits, a leading manufacturer of medical equipment, is planning more acquisitions overseas, the company said today.
The Rs 500-crore-company has been growing both organically and through acquisitions over the last few years.
Speaking to reporters, Chairman and Managing Director of the company, Vinod Ramnani, said he is looking for more acquisitions in the US and Europe costing about $100 million.
But he refused to give any timeframe for the acquisitions and said that discussions are going on and both the companies were engaged in making medical devises.
Opto Circuit had acquired Criticare Systems, a US-based healthcare firm for $70 million a few months ago and Ramnani said the company has completed integrating the latest acquisition.
The annual report of the company said its experience with acquisitions has been satisfactory and it would pursue this strategy.
