Olympus scientific solutions business splits from medtech

Olympus Corporation has announced the completion of the separation of its scientific solutions business to a wholly owned subsidiary, Evident Corporation.

As a subsidiary, Evident, headquartered in Japan, continues to operate independently under the Olympus umbrella. The reorganisation is, the company says, intended to give the business more agility to respond quickly and more flexibly to the needs of industrial and life science customers.

Evident Industrial’s solutions include microscopes and videoscopes, nondestructive testing equipment and X-ray analysers for maintenance, manufacturing and environmental applications.
