Norland Assets from CooperSurgical Acquired by Swissray

Swissray International, Inc. (Edison, NJ, USA), a developer of direct digital radiography (ddR) technologies, has acquired the Norland assets from CooperSurgical, Inc. (Trumbull, CT, USA).

The single name change will be to “Norland, at Swissray.” Swissray plans to maintain the same manufacturing plant, located in Fort Atkinson (WI, USA). The acquisition will bolster Swissray’s participation and expertise in ionizing radiation-based imaging. It also shows Swissray’s strategic move to widen its healthcare product range.

“Swissray operates on five continents and Norland Manufacturing enhances our global capabilities and engineering strength,” said Jack Lee, president and CEO of Swissray Global. “Also, Swissray will build Norland’s position as the premier supplier of bone densitometry systems with a promise of delivering the most accurate DXA [dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry] systems utilizing the lowest radiation dose in the market.”

Norland is a developer of bone density-assessment systems, stemming from the first analog single-photon absorptiometry (SPA) scanners to the newest XR-600 and XR-800 DXA tables. These newly developed tables are well suited for radiology suites, diagnostic imaging centers, family practice and internal medicine offices, rheumatology and geriatric care centers, sports medicine clinics, antiaging medicine and fat metabolic assessments.

Swissray is a developer in the field of digital radiography serving thousands of healthcare providers and patients with innovative and cost-effective digital radiology (DR) solutions that provide image quality with a lower radiation dose.
