October 4, 2024 — Lamone, Switzerland — Today Datamars, a global leader in intelligent solutions for animal management, has acquired Pulse NeedleFree Systems, Inc., a pioneering company specializing in needle-free injection technology for the animal health industry.
Datamars, a world-leader in animal health-delivery solutions through its Datamars Livestock business and Simcro and NJ Phillips brands, is committed to helping farmers and livestock producers across the globe improve sustainable productivity and quality of life. The acquisition of Pulse, with its unique technology that enables animal farmers to treat and manage disease in a non-invasive way, further strengthens this commitment and is evidence of Datamars’ ongoing investment in this space.
Needle-free technology helps address critical challenges in animal health management, including the reduction of injection site lesions, the elimination of bent and broken needles in consumer products and the prevention of disease transmission between animals and improving animal welfare and operational efficiency.
The move not only adds a needle-free offering to the Datamars Livestock existing global portfolio, but also provides a robust platform for ongoing innovation in this important area.
Andrew Shepherd of Datamars, says Pulse’s needle-free technology has transformed how the livestock industry approaches mass treatments.
“Pulse NeedleFree Systems offer a reliable, precise, and animal-friendly method of administering vaccines and medication for livestock. It’s an alternative to traditional vaccine administration and has valuable benefits from a biosecurity and food safety perspective.
“This acquisition enables Datamars and Pulse to work together to not only bring this great technology to more farmers and producers around the world, but to further leverage our capabilities for ongoing technology developments that support sustainable livestock productivity and help producers identify, treat and manage their livestock in the best and most efficient way for wellbeing, productivity and profitability.”
While Pulse has firmly established itself in the U.S. swine and dairy markets, the company’s versatile product range and innovative solutions present substantial opportunities for expansion into new species and regions.
Ed Stevens, CEO of Pulse NeedleFree Systems Inc., says he and the Pulse team are excited about joining Datamars.
“Datamars is a company that shares our commitment to advancing animal health and sustainable productivity. With Datamars’ support and leadership in commercialization, we look forward to scaling the impact of our needle-free technologies and leveraging new development opportunities in-line with Datamars’ vision for the future.”
