Neuromed buyout

Germany - Diagnostic imaging equipment handler Neuromed Solutions GmbH (est. 1993) has split from the firm's former managing company UMS Neuromed AG.

Thomas Fischer, Stefan Hellwig, and Michael Kwet are now owners/managers of this newly DIN ISO 9000-2000 certified company, which they say is the dominant provider of MRI RF shielding and container systems, technical services (handling CT and MRI equipment including installation), and pre-owned CT/MRI equipment sales. CEO Michael Kwet says the buyout was well received by the firm’s main customers: GE, Philips and Siemens, and he predicts significant future growth.
