Varex Imaging Opens Second Medical Imaging Facility in India
Imagine a company that makes important parts for X-ray machines.
They've opened a new factory in India!
This factory will make special coatings and glass tubes that are needed to take clear pictures of what's inside your body, like when you get an X-ray.
This means India can now make these parts instead of buying them from other countries.
It's like building a whole factory to make all the parts needed for a specific type of product.
This is good because it can help India become a leader in making medical imaging technology and also make it cheaper and easier to get the machines to the people who need them.
Varex Imaging opened its second advanced manufacturing facility at AMTZ in Visakhapatnam.
The expansion aims to boost India's medical imaging capabilities and become a global hub.
The facility will include India's first manufacturing for Cesium Iodide (CsI) coating and medical-grade glass tubes.
This move will establish a full imaging hardware value chain, supporting Indian OEMs and innovators.
The facility is expected to make India a competitive exporter of imaging technologies.
