History

The company was established as a division of E.R. Squibb & Sons, Inc. in 1978 [4] and acquired by Nordic Capital and Avista Capital Partners in 2008. [4] In 2008 merged with Unomedical (with headquarters in Denmark), a manufacturer of single-use medical devices, [5] and 180 Medical, a catheter manufacturer, in 2012. [6]

In June 2015 the company won a Court of Appeal ruling that determined that in the context of a patent "between 1% and 25%" should be interpreted rounding to the nearest 1%, so that an attempt to circumvent a patent by using the value 0.9% failed. [7] In October 2016 the company was valued at £4.4bn in the largest initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in the year. [8]

On 15 October 2018, Convatec announced that Paul Moraviec would be retiring as CEO with immediate effect, and would be succeeded on an interim basis by non-executive director Rick Anderson, who was formerly the chairman of Johnson & Johnson. [9]

On 25 March 2019, Convatec announced Karim Bitar, formerly CEO of Genus Plc, had been appointed CEO and would join the business on 30 September 2019. [10]

On 19 August 2019, Convatec announced Dr John McAdam CBE would become Chairman, effective 30 September, the same day Karim Bitar became CEO. [11]
