The M&A market continues to run hot. Conglomerate AMETEK, which generates 7.5 billion in revenue, has acquired LKC Technologies, the manufacturer of the portable RETeval camera. AMETEK already owns Reichert, a competitor to icare’s tonometers.
Portable devices clearly interest even the big players, and in this regard, AMETEK is a noteworthy competitor for Topcon in the acquisition market as well. No doubt there would be suitors for Optomed too.
