18 March 2022 - The international trading and services group Otto Group, based in Hamburg, has acquired a majority shareholding in Medgate Holding AG, based in Basel. Otto Group became the new majority shareholder of Medgate Holding by buying out certain existing shareholders and subscribing to newly created shares in a capital increase.
