Both organizations saw the opportunity to partner the process expertise of Genesis with the resources and custom manufacturing strengths of RVII. We offer customers a U.S. based supplier who provides integrated engineering, manufacturing, testing and field service. Together we will continue to provide the highest quality equipment while offering unmatched service and delivery.”
Bill Seiler, President of Genesis, sees the acquisition as an opportunity for significant market penetration and growth. He states, “I am very excited to share in the resources RVII can provide Genesis for continued growth and expansion of the products and services we offer our customers. RVII is an extremely innovative company that will bring a wealth of skill, knowledge, and experience to Genesis, it’s operations, employees, and customers in the parenteral vial sealing industry.”
