Partnership Thales/Kangda in Radiology is consolidated at the grand opening of a new factory in China!

Friday 26th October 2018 marked the completion and commissioning of Kangda Intercontinental Meishan Healthcare Industrial Park, based in Ningbo, China. Kangda Medical Products is China’s leading manufacturer of medical equipment and has a presence in a large range of applications in radiology. As a fellow actor in the field supplying flat panel detectors, notably for Kangda’s RF tables, Thales was present amongst many partners and economic actors from all over the globe.

The event kicked off with a morning dedicated to the speeches led by officials in the presence of numerous actors including politicians, the Mayor, the head of the district council and the local economic committee.  Jean-Jacques Guittard - VP, Microwave & Imaging Sub-Systems - was amongst those who took the stage as he presented Thales’s role in the radiology domain and introduced the ever-strengthening partnership with Kangda. The day followed with a visit to the product showroom which displayed the latest company innovations in radiology. 

Consolidating this partnership, Thales and Kangda signed a collaborative new product development agreement, as well as discussing future commercial contracts for new radiology products including the Pixium RF4343 Model 4 and Pixium 2121 Efficiency. Thales values such partnerships to drive the innovation that responds to the growing needs of healthcare professionals today.
