IMIX and Arcoma to merge
 |
The two Swedish companies will form a single holding company, IMIX Holding AB, which will be headquartered in Växjö, Sweden, and will have sales/service offices in the US, EU and China, along with manufacturing, research and development facilities in Växjö, Sweden, Tampere, Finland and Luzern, Switzerland.
“The intended combination enhances the strengths of both companies by creating a large portfolio of complementary products and technologies,” said the companies in a release announcing the intended merger. “The proposed combination also enhances the ability of both companies to sell their products and services through expanded access to new markets and customers.”
Goran Axelsson, chairman of the board of IMIX Holding AB, said the IMX brand will remain in place for end-user system sales, and the Arcoma brand will stay in existence for the manufacturing and sale of sub-systems. The merged group will have design and manufacturing capabilities in the areas of digital detectors, x-ray generators and a wide variety of x-ray positioning mechanics.
CEO and founder of Arcoma, Per Hermansson, said the two companies are an “ideal” fit. “We share a Scandinavian background and the same philosophy and heritage of quality,” Hermannson said. “The intended combination will strengthen us as a global supplier of services, knowledge, technologies, and systems to OEM customers and dealer networks.”
