Medical-supply companies Steris and Cantel in talks to join forces: sources

The coronavirus pandemic has been a mixed bag for the sterilization-products companies’ businesses

Steris PLC is in talks to combine with Cantel Medical Corp. , according to people familiar with the matter, in a deal that would bring together two big providers of sterilization products.

The companies are discussing a mostly stock deal that could be completed as soon as Tuesday, assuming talks don’t fall apart, the people said.

Cantel

has a market value of around $3.5 billion, while Steris’s

Dublin-based Steris, which has a U.S. presence in Mentor, Ohio, sells sterilization equipment, surgical tables, and other products and services used in hospitals and laboratories.
