Carestream Health, Inc – an independent company with more than 8100 employees serving tens of thousands of customers in 150 countries – has announced that Eastman Kodak Company's former Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group is now officially operating as part of Carestream Health.Last January, Onex Corporation announced its intentions to acquire Kodak's Health Group, which included the Non-Destructive Testing business. Now that the purchase is complete, the Health Group is doing business as Carestream Health.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for us to grow our business and serve customers as no other company can," said Martin Graen, General Manager of Carestream Health's Non-Destructive Testing group. "Our customer-focused technology roadmaps are delivering innovative new digital systems and services across industrial markets. We expect our product technology to develop faster and grow stronger as we tap new and more abundant resources as part of Carestream Health."
With nearly $2.5 billion in annual sales, Carestream Health's goal is to be a global leader in the markets it serves: non-destructive testing, medical, dental and molecular imaging systems.
Carestream Health brings from its former owner more than 100 years of imaging experience and more than 55 years' success in non-destructive testing. As part of the new company, the Non-Destructive Testing team will continue to provide high-quality Kodak Industrex products and services.
The company's NDT group designs and produces unique film and digital imaging solutions globally for the industrial radiography market. As a leading provider of computed radiography (CR) equipment, the NDT group offers powerful in-house and portable systems such as Kodak Industrex ACR 2000 and ACR 2000i Digital Systems.
Other Kodak Industrex products from Carestream Health include flexible phosphor plates, film digitising systems, and a variety of films, chemicals, and processing equipment. Dedicated to high standards in quality and customer service, Kodak Industrex systems are supported by a worldwide force of service and support professionals.
