This acquisition paves the way for us to develop our comprehensive PFT range further.”

He continued: “Vitalograph is a family-owned company and recognises the pioneering drive of the Morgan family to create a business founded on people, integrity, quality, and innovation. These values are at the heart of Vitalograph and are instilled in every part of our business today.”

Gareth Morgan, son of the founder of Morgan Scientific said: “There is no other company in the world that we trust to uphold our legacy of innovation and to continue to put the needs of customers at the forefront of every decision. Joining a globally present and renowned brand such as Vitalograph will enable us to concentrate our efforts on building the business through what we know best - excellence in innovation and customer service.”

The acquisition of Morgan Scientific is a key milestone in Vitalograph’s plan to develop its respiratory diagnostics business globally, furthering its goal of providing comprehensive testing solutions that enable the best possible respiratory healthcare. The company is in the middle of an ambitious growth strategy and is on track to treble its respiratory diagnostics business in the four years leading to 2026.
