Headquartered in Reading, United Kingdom, ConvaTec serves customers in over 100 countries through a network of manufacturing, distribution, and customer support operations. Its regional footprint covers North America, Europe & Turkey, Japan & Asia Pacific, and Emerging Markets, enabling the company to tailor its offerings to diverse healthcare environments and local regulatory requirements. ConvaTec collaborates with healthcare professionals, payers, and patient advocacy groups to drive innovations and improve care pathways for chronic conditions.
The company traces its origins to medical device activities within pharmaceutical firms in the 1970s and gained independence following a demerger from Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2008. ConvaTec subsequently completed an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in 2016, and its American Depositary Receipts trade on the U.S. over-the-counter market under the symbol CNVVY. Over the years, ConvaTec has expanded its capabilities through targeted research and development investments and partnerships aimed at advancing product performance and patient support services.
ConvaTec is led by Chief Executive Officer Karim Bitar, who has overseen strategic initiatives to strengthen the company’s innovation pipeline and global market presence since 2018. Under his leadership, ConvaTec continues to emphasize patient-centric design, digital health integration, and sustainable business practices. The company is guided by a board of directors and experienced management team committed to delivering long-term value for patients, healthcare systems, and shareholders.
