(Reuters) - Belgium-based Arseus (RCUS.BR), the world's biggest supplier of ingredients to pharmacists so they can mix up their own versions of drugs, bought U.S.-based FreedomPharmaceuticals for an undisclosed sum, it said on Thursday.
The acquisition strengthens its global position in the market for drug compounding, where pharmacists assemble medicines themselves specifically tailored to the needs of their customers.
Arseus said in a statement that it paid 5.5 times EBITDA for FreedomPharmaceuticals, which expects to achieve turnover of about $25 million in 2013.
