CDMV becomes Largest pan-Canadian Distributor with Acquistion of DVS

Denis Huard President of CDMV, announced today that it has taken steps to acquire the assets of Distribution Vie et Santé (DVS). The official takeover of these assets will take place on or about November 28, 2011.
 
The acquisition of Distribution Vie et Santé’s assets is an exceptional opportunity for CDMV to retain in Québec and the Atlantic provinces an effective and profitable expertise in the distribution of veterinary products that is highly valued by its customers. The alignment of the two companies’ values and cultures will help to ensure a transparent transition for clients.

As a result of this acquisition, CDMV will become the largest pan-Canadian distributor of veterinary products, dealing with more than 2,700 veterinary establishments.

CDMV intends to keep the Québec City distribution centre’s activities operational in order to serve customers located in that city and its immediate vicinity as well as those in the eastern part of the province. Clients in the Atlantic provinces will be served by CDMV’s distribution centre in Halifax.

CDMV has experienced strong growth for several years and this acquisition is part of its commitment to ongoing innovation in order to continue to better serve its clients. For more information, do not hesitate to contact:
