Philips buys Alpha X-Ray


AMSTERDAM: Royal Philips Electronics has reached an agreement to acquire India-based Alpha X-Ray Technologies. Alpha is a leading manufacturer of cardiovascular X-Ray systems targeting the economy segment of the Indian market.

Upon closing of this transaction in the fourth quarter of 2008, which is subject to certain contractual and other conditions such as regulatory approvals, Alpha will become part of the cardiovascular X-Ray business within Philips’ healthcare sector. Financial details of this agreement were not disclosed.

The announcement marks Philips’ strong presence in high-growth healthcare market in emerging economies, and follows the earlier acquisitions of healthcare companies Brazilian Dixtal Biomédica e Tecnologia, Shenzhen Goldway Industrial in China and VMI Sistemas Medicos in Brazil.
