NPBI was a manufacturer of blood storage systems, including blood bags, filters, and equipment for separating blood components. The company operated production facilities in the Netherlands and Brazil and served hospitals and large blood banks with reliable, high-quality medical solutions.
Our investment
We acquired NPBI from CLB after identifying a clear opportunity to transform the business operationally and strategically. Together with management, we strengthened operations, improved efficiency, and prepared the company for integration with a strategic buyer. Following its successful transformation, NPBI was acquired in 2001 by Fresenius Kabi, a leading European provider of sterile pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
