On Monday, BC Technical announced the acquisition of Ohio Valley Medical Systems. It is the company's fourth acquisition of 2015 and will strengthen its business in MR imaging support.

Ohio Valley Medical Systems will bring the organization a particular expertise in Hitachi open MR systems, which will allow BC Technical to include Hitachi MR in their nationwide service portfolio.

"We couldn't be more excited about this acquisition," said Mark Alvarez, president and CEO of BC Technical, in a statement. "The Ohio Valley engineers are true experts in their field, and we are pleased to welcome them to the BC Technical team."
On behalf of Ohio Valley Medical Systems, Thomas Hineman, CEO, said, "This will prove to be a valuable asset to our customers by expanding our service capability to other product lines and manufacturers. In addition, response time will be improved as we leverage the nationwide service presence of BC Technical's Field Engineers and support staff.

Earlier this year BC Technical completed acquisitions of Atlas Medical Technologies, Eclipse Systems, and Virtual Medical Sales. All of those transactions were completed with the goal of increasing the company's capabilities as a national — and non-OEM — provider of CT, MR, NM, PET and PET/CT parts and service.

HCB News took an in-depth look at the trend toward consolidation in the non-OEM parts and service segment in the August issue of our magazine.
