Chalmers Group buys Blue Sage-backed Primus Sterilizer

Chalmers Group of Companies has acquired Primus Sterilizer Co LLC, an Omaha, Nebraska-based maker of steam sterilizers used in laboratories, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. No financial terms were released for the deal, which closed earlier this month. In a separate release, Chalmers, a Mississauga, Ontario-based products supplier to the medical and transportation equipment industries, said Primus will be added to its affiliates Scientek and CSI Jewett. The transaction provided an exit to U.S. private equity firm Blue Sage Capital, which invested in Primus in 2006.
