    [SINGAPORE] SeaTown Holdings, an investment manager indirectly owned by Temasek, said on Wednesday (May 21) it is committing up to S$115 million in Singapore healthcare and life sciences firm AddVita. 

    Offering medical and laboratory technologies, AddVita sells pharmaceutical products as well, to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and healthcare providers throughout Asia, particularly South-east Asia.

    It also buys companies, focusing on small and medium-sized distributors in the healthcare and life sciences sectors, using the so-called buy-and-build strategy.
