We see Vention AT as an ideal complement to our current offering of single-use fluid management components, biomaterial delivery devices, and high end cannula and tubing, and we are excited to bring our combined capabilities to the many leading medical OEM customers we share.”

Vention AT employs approximately 775 people and will operate as part of Nordson’s Advanced Technology Systems segment.
