Team Technologies Inc., a North American healthcare specialty manufacturer focused on providing advanced services in medical, oral & dental care, infection prevention and control, and other healthcare use cases, has acquired ViruDefense, Inc., a supplier of fully domestically produced N95 respirator masks. Team is backed by Clearlake Capital Group LP, who acquired the company in 2018.

“Team has built a strong platform in infection prevention and control end markets, and we are thrilled to build upon that position by combining with our partners at ViruDefense,” said Marshall White, president and CEO, Team. “Having partnered with Pieter at the original product launch, we believe this acquisition is an exciting next chapter in our relationship and furthers both of our collective missions to deliver the highest quality healthcare products in the market.”

“During this pandemic, we were able to rapidly scale production of our masks using exclusively domestic-sourced materials,” stated Pieter Muntendam, founder, ViruDefense. “We are proud to pass the stewardship of this great product to our partners at Team Technologies, who have the capabilities to grow and advance the franchise we started with the ultimate goal of providing a reliable source of personal protective equipment to essential workers both during the current pandemic, but also beyond.”
