Esco Lifesciences Group, Allwin Medical Devices Enter Strategic Partnership

Allwin Medical Devices Inc. (Allwin), a leading manufacturer of a wide range of medical devices addressing women’s health (IVF), urology, gastroenterology, and interventional radiology, has entered a strategic partnership with Esco, a leading global provider of life sciences equipment that serves multiple global markets including the in vitro fertilization (IVF) market. Financial terms were not disclosed.

This strategic partnership strengthens Esco’s commitment to delivering sustainable workflow solutions, as Allwin’s IVF consumables enhance Esco Medical’s IVF instrument portfolio.

The IVF consumables portfolio of Allwin Medical will expand Esco’s IVF instrument portfolio, and the combined product portfolio will have a complementary balance between consumables and instruments. IVF clinicians and embryologists who use Allwin’s consumables, Esco’s time-lapse, or standard IVF incubators will have access to a complete workflow solution.

Also, the strong sales and operational presence of Allwin Medical in India will serve Esco by providing the company with an established base and a strong presence in the country.

XQ Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Esco, said, “Infertility is a problem that has social, psychological, and economic impacts to the afflicted individuals and couples. It has been estimated that 1 in 6 couples will struggle with infertility at least once in their lifetime. This transaction brings together two companies intent on accelerating innovation for our IVF customers and enabling dreams of couples around the world. Through Esco Medical, our IVF medical devices business unit, Esco Lifesciences Group provides comprehensive ART workflow solutions to IVF clinics, laboratories, and research centers worldwide. Our integrated portfolio, including Time-Lapse Incubators, IVF Workstations, and a witnessing and traceability system designed in Denmark and manufactured in Europe, streamlines processes and optimizes outcomes. With our majority stake, strategic investment in Allwin, we will be in a strong position to fulfill our companies’ missions of enabling our customers to make the world healthier, more equitable, and resilient.” 

Dhiren Mehta, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Allwin Medical, noted, “Allwin’s mission since our inception has been to deliver high quality, innovative, and reliable product to laboratories in the IVF/ART and urology markets. We enable our customers to deliver better outcomes to patients globally. By partnering with Esco, we expect to be well-positioned to better serve our customers’ needs worldwide.”
