Agfa-Gevaert : Agfa announces a study aiming at focused growth

Mortsel, Belgium - August 23, 2017 - 7.45 a.m. CET


Agfa-Gevaert NV (Agfa) today announced that the Board of Directors has asked the Management to study how to organise the HealthCare IT activities into a stand-alone legal entity structure and organisation within the Agfa-Gevaert Group. 

Increasing the independence of the HealthCare IT activities would be a natural progression in the continued transformation of the Group. In such a set-up, HealthCare IT would be able to increase its focus on the large and attractive markets it is already in. The main part of the Agfa-Gevaert Group, which would consist of Agfa Graphics, Agfa Specialty Products and Agfa HealthCare's Imaging business, would also be better positioned to pursue growth, profitability and new opportunities.
