Amersham, UK 9/8/08—The Photonics business of Halma’s Health and Analysis sector has acquired Fiberguide Industries for $14.5 million in cash and additional payouts based on targets. Based in Stirling, New Jersey, Halma designs and manufactures optical fiber cables and assembles, primarily custom-designed products for OEMs. Approximately half of the company’s revenues are from medical/biomedical, spectroscopic and analytical instrument applications. Fiberguide’s 2007 revenues were $10.7 million and its operating profit was $1.8 million. “There are excellent opportunities for Fiberguide to develop strongly within Halma—particularly through technical collaboration and growth in international markets which currently represent less than 5% of Fiberguide’s revenues,” stated Halma’s Chief Executive Andrew Williams.
