Pihlajalinna to acquire imaging businesses in Kuopio and Joensuu
Pihlajalinna Terveys Oy, a subsidiary of Pihlajalinna Plc, has acquired the entire share capital of Sataman Röntgen Oy in Kuopio and Joen Magneetti Oy in Joensuu from their current owners. The two companies have partly the same owners, and they have a history of close collaboration.
The companies have provided imaging services for Pihlajalinna’s ITE private clinics in Kuopio and Joensuu. With these acquisitions, Pihlajalinna wants to streamline its care chain at the private clinics in Kuopio and Joensuu and extend its range of imaging services.
“We are eager to develop our care chain as a whole because we want to provide our clients with smooth services and the opportunity to recover as quickly as possible,” Ville Remes, Business Director at Pihlajalinna’s private clinics says. “In the past, we made the strategic decision to strengthen our own physiotherapy services. Similarly, having our own imaging services will create synergy benefits for both our clients and Pihlajalinna. In the future, we will continue to build our network of imaging services and the acquisition of the units in Kuopio and Joensuu will give us valuable expertise that will support our national development project.”
