The transition from TRIMLINE Medical Products Corporation to Welch Allyn is expected to begin immediately and be completed by the end of the year. TRIMLINE's 152 employees will be retained during the transition period, as product manufacturing is absorbed into Welch Allyn's own manufacturing sites in Skaneateles Falls, NY, and Tijuana, Mexico. Welch Allyn intends to offer comprehensive retention bonuses to those employees who remain through the transition, and all displaced employees will receive a comprehensive severance package and job placement assistance.

"Welch Allyn intends to continue its tradition as a leader in high quality, reliable blood pressure devices," added Shimer. "This acquisition will allow us to offer a more extensive line of products in both the U.S. and international markets. Through the continued assistance and encouragement of New York State and Empire State Development, Welch Allyn continues to grow its business at its global headquarters in Central New York. It is a boon to Welch Allyn, its customers, distributors, and, of course, the frontline caregivers and patients who rely on our products to advance health care around the world."
