The Protec GmbH & Co.KG in Oberstenfeld has acquired the majority shareholding of Provotec GmbH in Espelkamp.

By taking this step, the company will be able to continuosly strengthen its position in the world-wide market for medical imaging systems. In the future it will be able to offer complete x-ray systems for the digital radiography sector including x-ray generators, x-ray tubes, bucky tables, detectors and image acquisition software. Of course it will also include complete analogue systems in the product range.

Provotec GmbH in Espelkamp (NRW, Germany) was founded in 1998.  After the former US-manufacturer Picker stopped its European business activities, a group of experienced employees acqquired the product rights. This ensured the supply of spare parts for older Picker x-ray systems and gave them the opportunity to develop and sell their own high-quality x-ray systems.
