The Deal
- Bought By
- Paul Szyszkowitz and Christoph Siegesleuthner
- Year
- Not published by any primary source
- The company's own about page carries the purchase in a full sentence, that the two buyers acquired it together and took operational leadership, and dates nothing. Its tagline dates the FOUNDING to 2000, which is the number a reader would take by mistake. The backer's roster prints a country and a role and no year at all.
- Vehicle

- Kind
- Physical operations
An Austrian direct-to-pharmacy distributor connecting pharmaceutical manufacturers with pharmacies, founded in Vienna in 2000 and trading across Austria, Germany and central Europe.
What Happened Next
Still held and run by both buyers as co-chief executives, with the original co-founder staying on as operating chief and keeping a significant stake.
The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
