The business recorded revenues of $4.0m (approx. £2.5m) in the year ended December 31st 2011, and has been acquired for a cash consideration that equates to 6.5 times earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortisation.
Synergy says the big idea is to develop a hospital outsourcing service within the United States, following the acquisition of medical device steriliser BeamOne in April.
Synergy's stock is up 1.7% over the last 12 months.
