Acquisition Broadens Kodak’s CR Portfolio; Provides Foundation for Continued Growth

”

CR systems from OREX are also used by customers in another market Kodak serves—industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) organizations such as pipeline companies, foundries and aerospace manufacturers—offering industrial radiographers an easy digital solution to make image viewing and analysis more efficient. Kodak’s Non-Destructive Testing unit, which designs and produces innovative digital and film-based NDT solutions, will market OREX CR systems to this unique industry.

“The addition of a compact CR unit to Kodak’s NDT product portfolio is proof of our commitment to create new and better ways for customers to use images and information,” said William Quinn, Worldwide General Manager of Aerial and Industrial Markets for Kodak’s Digital and Film Imaging Systems business. “Customers are very satisfied with OREX’s products for mobile NDT applications that require testing devices to move to the structure—as is the case for monitoring installed pipelines for cracks or checking for corrosion in nuclear power reactor valves.”

Headquartered in Yokneam, Israel, OREX was founded in 1996 as Digident (focusing initially on dental CR) and expanded its product line in 2001 to leverage its expertise into the broader category of specialty medical markets. With 84 employees worldwide, OREX will remain in its principal location in Israel, and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak and operate within Kodak’s Health Imaging Group.
