VetFamily establishes presence in Australia through acquisition of IVA
VetFamily, the operating company within Vimian’s Veterinary Services segment, has signed an agreement to acquire Independent Vets of Australia (“IVA”), a provider of procurement and support services to more than 115 member clinics in Australia.
The acquisition brings together two complementary organisations, each dedicated to supporting independent veterinary clinics and committed to empowering clinic owners and veterinarians to run better businesses and improving enhanced animal care. For IVA, with annual revenues of approximately EUR 1 million, VetFamily’s international scale and portfolio of solutions is expected to provide additional benefits to the IVA members over time. VetFamily, which has continuously expanded its geographic reach over the last few years, sees IVA as a great fit as it takes the step into the Australian market.
Mikael Sjögren, CEO of VetFamily comments:
“VetFamily’s focus is to help veterinary clinics improve today but also prepare our members for tomorrow, as the veterinary market is evolving quickly. The focus on working for the independent clinics’ long-term success is something we share with IVA so we are very excited to work together to develop our support to IVA’s members even further in the future”, says Mikael Sjögren, CEO of VetFamily.
VetFamily is a membership-based service platform for veterinary clinics, with more than 2,600 members. The company offers procurement and tech-enabled services, such as preventive care plans, clinic improvement services, online marketing and education, as well as providing a vibrant community for vet clinics.
