Based in The Woodlands, Texas, coVita has been distributing Bedfont’s solutions in the United States for more than 16 years. Throughout this long-standing partnership, coVita has contributed to the deployment of Bedfont’s breath analysis technologies in the US market and has developed an in-depth understanding of the needs of healthcare professionals and clinical research stakeholders. The company also provides technical support, equipment calibration and user support services to specialist allergy and pulmonology networks, respiratory disease practices, outpatient clinics and clinical research organizations.

The combination will bring together Bedfont’s technological expertise with coVita’s knowledge of the US market and commercial infrastructure. It will enable Bedfont to strengthen its access to healthcare networks and clinical research in the United States, particularly through its NObreath^® device for measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO^[2]). It will also enhance collaboration in distribution, training and technical support, bringing Bedfont closer to US healthcare professionals. The founders of coVita will remain involved in the company’s development, helping to ensure continuity in relationships with customers and partners.

This acquisition is part of Bedfont’s international development strategy and reflects Keensight’s ambition to support its portfolio companies in accelerating their growth. Following its majority investment in Bedfont in 2025, Keensight is supporting a further stage in the company’s development, drawing on its expertise in the healthcare sector and its international network.

Jason Smith, CEO of Bedfont Scientific, said: “Making non-invasive breath testing more accessible is at the heart of our mission. Building on our long-standing partnership with coVita will help us reach more healthcare professionals and researchers across the United States.”

Jason Aversano and Daniel Sibis, co-founders of coVita, added: “Our companies share the same commitment to supporting healthcare professionals. This combination creates new opportunities to grow our business while preserving the local expertise and customer relationships we have built together.”

Nicolas Ulrich, Partner at Keensight Capital concluded: “The acquisition of coVita represents an important milestone in Bedfont’s international growth strategy. Our role is to support the management team in identifying and implementing growth drivers that sustainably strengthen the company’s market position. This transaction brings together two complementary areas of expertise and will provide Bedfont with a strong local platform from which to accelerate its development in the US market, particularly in FeNO and clinical research.”
