The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ypsomed\u2019s decision to focus exclusively on subcutaneous injection systems reflects its confidence in the growth potential of self-care solutions and biologic therapies. The sale proceeds will finance the expansion of Ypsomed\u2019s injection system business, including two new production halls and a conference center at the company\u2019s Solothurn site. The divestment also frees up capacity at the site, which will now be dedicated entirely to Ypsomed\u2019s core business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diabetes care unit, best known for the mylife Loop solution and YpsoPump insulin pump, will continue operations under TecMed AG. It will be merged with TecMed\u2019s patch pump development efforts to form a specialized player in insulin infusion systems. The new company will be based in Burgdorf and is expected to employ around 300 staff, including approximately 200 employees currently based in Solothurn who will relocate later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ypsomed, separating the two businesses will improve focus, agility, and long-term success for both companies. For TecMed, the acquisition creates an opportunity to build a global leader in diabetes care innovation, with a strong emphasis on patient-centered technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This transaction follows Ypsomed\u2019s strategic review launched in November 2024, which attracted interest from over 20 potential buyers. TecMed ultimately emerged as the preferred partner following a comprehensive due diligence process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ypsomed continues to explore international growth opportunities and is currently evaluating potential locations for a new U.S. manufacturing site, scheduled to be operational by 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burgdorf-based medtech Ypsomed has announced the sale of its diabetes care business to TecMed AG for up to CHF 420 million.
