Hillrom acquired Allen Medical.
Hillrom's Acquisition of Allen Medical
Allen Medical, a well-known name in the medical equipment sector, was acquired by Hillrom, a prominent global medical technology company. This acquisition was part of Hillrom's broader strategy to expand its portfolio and capabilities in developing and producing a wide range of medical equipment and solutions. Allen Medical's specialized products were integrated into Hillrom's offerings, contributing to its comprehensive suite of healthcare technologies.
A Strategic Portfolio of Medical Brands
Before its rebranding, Hillrom extensively built its presence in the medical technology market through strategic acquisitions. These acquisitions allowed Hillrom to incorporate specialized expertise and established product lines under its umbrella, serving various facets of healthcare. Allen Medical was one of several key companies that became part of Hillrom's robust portfolio, enhancing its diverse product offerings.
Other notable acquisitions that were integrated into Hillrom's operations and whose names contributed to its product lines included:
- Welch Allyn: Known for diagnostic instruments.
- Mortara: Specializing in cardiology diagnostic devices.
- Trumpf Medical: Focused on integrated operating room solutions and surgical tables.
- Allen Medical: Renowned for patient positioning and surgical accessories.
- Liko: A leader in patient lifts and slings.
This approach enabled Hillrom to provide comprehensive solutions across different healthcare settings, from patient diagnostics to surgical support and patient mobility. Hillrom itself has since been acquired by Baxter International, further consolidating these brands under a larger healthcare entity.
