SAN MARCOS, CA – Creative Electron has acquired the legacy MXI service business of several x-ray lines, including FocalSpot, from Nordson-MatriX.
Also acquired as part of the deal, which was announced today, were the Nicolet and Faxitron CS100 system brands.
Under terms of the deal, Creative Electron acquired the complete customer lists, all technical documentation and drawings, and the existing supply of legacy service parts and refurbished machines.
The acquisition makes Creative Electron the only authorized service provider for all the FocalSpot and Nicolet legacy systems. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“Current owners of FocalSpot, Nicolet, and other legacy x-ray machines will now experience the Creative Electron customer support infrastructure,” said Dr. Bill Cardoso, president of Creative Electron. “Furthermore, our growing refurbished business will give customers the ability to maximize the value of their current x-ray machine toward the acquisition of a new [Creative Electron] x-ray system.”
“We’re confident that Creative Electron’s dedicated and competent team will continue to provide the same excellent level of support to our customers as they have experienced so far,” said Frank Silva, business development manager North-America with Nordson-MatriX.
It’s the third time in three years responsibility for FocalSpot has changed hands. MatriX had acquired FocalSpot in 2013, then itself was purchased by Nordson last year.
