PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, announced its intent to sell its medical imaging business, a supplier of flat panel X-ray detectors that serve as components for industrial, medical and dental X-ray imaging systems, to Varian Medical Systems.
"Combining our medical imaging business with Varian's capabilities will better position the business to support its customers and continue to innovate and develop new imaging systems," said Robert Friel, chairman and chief executive officer, PerkinElmer. "In addition, the divestiture will allow PerkinElmer to focus our investments and accelerate growth in higher priority areas."
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2017.
