Significant events
- “On 28 May 2025, Brookfield Asset Management Inc., through its private equity arm, and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), completed the acquisition of Antylia Scientific, the ultimate parent company of Cole-Parmer Instrument Company Limited, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.34 billion.”
- “Antylia Scientific, formerly known as Cole-Parmer, is a diversified life sciences tools business headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois, USA. The acquisition marks the conclusion of a decade-long ownership by GTCR, a private equity firm that originally acquired the business in 2014 from Thermo Fisher Scientific.”
- “The transaction was completed after the date of the Statement of Financial Position and does not impact the financial position of Cole-Parmer Instrument Company Limited as at 31 December 2024. However, it represents a significant change in the ownership structure of the Group and may influence future strategic direction, investment priorities, and operational synergies.”
