MESA Group Holdings of Lugano, Switzerland, has acquired French diagnostic imaging service provider Sigil.
Eysines-based Sigil was founded in 2000 as an offshoot of Varian Medical Systems. It has a facility in Bordeaux that handles x-ray tube refurbishment, as well as another in Massy for equipment staging and field engineer training for MRI, CT, and x-ray systems, according to MESA.
MESA's purchase of the company will accelerate its growth in the French market not only on geographic terms but also because France represents a high-growth opportunity for independent equipment services and maintenance for radiology and biomedical devices, the company said.
