SteriPack acquires Bristol design and product development consultancy

A Bristol design and product development consultancy has been acquired by global medical device and contract manufacturing group SteriPack for an undisclosed sum.

Kinneir Dufort (KD), which was founded in 1977 and is based on Host Street in the city centre, said the move would create new opportunities for the business. The company said its 85-strong team, led by existing KD directors - Kerry Briggs, Sam Reeves and Craig Wightman - would remain unchanged. Current chief executive Merle Hall will assume a group research and development (R&D) role.

SteriPack said the addition of KD to the group would expand its design and development capability, creating a European R&D "centre of excellence" and reinforcing its global footprint.
