Director dealings: Scapa president lowers stake

Scapa's healthcare president Joseph Davin disposed of 83,358 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed firm on Friday.

Davin, who was appointed to the role in September 2011, sold the shares at an average price of 454p, for a total value of £378,445.32.

Earlier in September, Scapa acquired Acelity's advanced wound dressings manufacturing facility in Gargrave for £31m in cash.

The healthcare company also announced that it had entered into an exclusive five-year manufacturing supply agreement with Acelity for Systagenix advanced wound care products, expanding its existing partnership with the group.

Scapa said the addition of the well invested 335,000-square-foot Gargrave site will it as one of the leading global B2B manufacturers of advanced wound care products.

It said the acquisition "significantly" enhances its capabilities, services and footprint and adds gamma sterilisation to its capability, providing a unique value proposition and additional flexibility.

As of 1500 BST, Scapa shares had gained 1.22% to 464.40p.
