GAMA Healthcare acquires Australian distributor AMCLA

GAMA Healthcare, a UK manufacturer of infection prevention products, has acquired the Clinell division of its Australian distributor, AMCLA. GAMA will take over AMCLA’s current office in Mornington, Victoria, where it plans to retain all AMCLA personnel and aims to double the current workforce over the next 12 months.

GAMA Healthcare products are marketed under the brands Clinell, Carell and Cleanall, and are used in many hospitals in around the world. The company plans to use the investment to emulate its success in the UK, where it provides bespoke, local training through group sessions, ward-based training and practitioner meetings, delivered by a team of infection control specialists.

“Our organisational support training program is valued very highly by our UK customers and we look forward to implementing this in Australia,” said GAMA Clinical Director Martin Kiernan. “We have developed the most advanced and fully customisable tablet-based training suite that is free to all customers. In the last six months of 2016, we hosted over 250 training days. This support has been critical in developing new business opportunities and retaining key contracts.”

“This is a very exciting time for us as we enhance our service in Australia,” said GAMA Managing Director Dr Guy Braverman. “As world leaders in infection prevention, we are committed to empowering healthcare professionals to make the right choices to achieve the best clinical outcomes. Through our growing team of experienced clinical nurse trainers and area managers, we can increase support and after-sales service to meet the individual needs of every hospital.”
