Welcome to our new employees, customers and suppliers.
We are pleased to share the
news that today we completed our
acquisition of Olympus' lab-based diagnostics business.
When we
announced our intention to acquire Olympus' outstanding
products, we were convinced that this combination of businesses will
create a world leading company in clinical diagnostics with special
strength in chemistry and automated laboratory systems.
Undoubtedly, the combination of the
Olympus' products
with Beckman Coulter's
chemistry and
automation portfolio puts Beckman Coulter in a leadership
position in the chemistry and automation market segment, worldwide.
At Beckman Coulter, we say "Were Better Together" working in
collaboration with customers, who, like us, are dedicated to
improving patient health while reducing the cost of care. We also
believe we're better together with the acquisition and integration
of Olympus Diagnostics. The addition of Olympus' complementary
products, geographic position and highly capable people is
undeniably a positive move for both Beckman Coulter and Olympus
Diagnostics customers.
As we work through the process of integrating the businesses, we
will consistently demonstrate our values of integrity, leadership
and teamwork. Working together, we promise to offer all our
customers both old and new the spirit of collaboration and
focused customer service that is our hallmark.
