Ascom,
a leading provider of mission-critical communications worldwide, has
broadened it's empire through acquiring GE Healthcare's Nurse Call
business in June of this year.
GE
Healthcare is a leading nurse call supplier in North America with revenues in excess of USD 20 million in 2011. This
acquisition gives Ascom the opportunity to penetrate the lucrative
North American market as well as gain intellectual property through
retaining existing GE employees. As a result, a combined offering can
be created with features and functionality more closely aligned to
customer needs.
Fritz
Mumenthaler, CEO of Ascom, says: “Ascom is very pleased to have
acquired a business with such a good strategic fit. This transaction
represents the next step in building and strengthening the leading
position of our Wireless Solutions Division in the healthcare
communications market”.
