Alcon willing to buy the Dutch Ophthalmic Research Centre from Montagu?

There are rumours that Alcon are willing to buy the Dutch Ophthalmic Research Centre?
In 2014 the private investement company Montagu completed the acquisition of DORC, DORC is a leading provider of innovative instruments and equipment for ophthalmic surgery.
The product range includes high precision disposable and re-usable instruments, surgical liquids and surgical machinery that is used for vitreoretinal and cataract procedures.
Headquartered in Zuidland, the Netherlands.

 

And then ship our surgical R&D over there maybe?

 

there is too much duplication of portfolios in the VR area to make sense

Which means it will probably happen

 

Feel sorry for DORC employees seems the beginning of the end of another good surgical company :-(

 

This is not gonna happen. Montagu is not willing to sell a groing business in less than 5 to 6 years. Furthermore Alcon doesn't have the money to make such transaction. Maybe Bausch & Lomb has?

 

Lucky DORC employees... I wish Kevin would have resisted the temptation 5 years back

 

and then DORC also will be lead by Korea NVS corruption fame EVO and F in Asia?

 

Any news?
