VANGEST GROUP (“VANGEST”) has completed the acquisitions of Micro Systems Ltd and Optimold Limited, the United Kingdom’s leading specialist mould and injection moulding manufacturers.
With more than 20 years of experience in high-precision mould making and injection moulding for the healthcare and MedTech sectors, both companies bring substantial expertise and advanced capabilities to the Group. The acquired businesses operate manufacturing facilities in both the United Kingdom and Singapore, and are now fully integrated into VANGEST.
“With the acquisition of Micro Systems and Optimold, we have made one more very important step as a global player in the mould and injection moulding for the medical industry,” said Kees Verhaar, Chairman of the Board of Directors at VANGEST.
“These strategic acquisitions allow us to accelerate development cycles, foster innovation, enhance operational agility, and strengthen our ability to deliver on complex, high-specification projects. Our customers benefit from closer regional support, shorter lead times, and access to a broader, vertically integrated suite of engineering and manufacturing services.”
“Becoming part of VANGEST brings new resources, investment opportunities, and additional mould-making and injection capacity from Portugal that will strengthen Micro Systems. With VANGEST’s long-standing expertise in high-precision mould making and a strong cultural fit between our teams, we are well placed to drive innovation and deliver even greater value to our customers,” said Geoff Payne, Operations Director at Micro Systems.
This transaction represents a significant milestone in the Portuguese industrial landscape, marking the acquisition of one of the United Kingdom’s foremost MedTech specialists by a domestic leader.
It also follows VANGEST’s acquisition of TECNOMATRIX, a Spanish-based manufacturer of high-precision mould solutions, completed in 2024. By combining in-house expertise with best-in-class international specialists, VANGEST reinforces its position as the partner of choice for next-generation diagnostic devices, ophthalmic products, drug delivery systems, and other critical medical technologies.
