TOKYO -- Ricoh will gain a path to the medical sector with the acquisition of a Yokogawa Electric business centered on equipment for measuring brain activity.
By offering improved versions of Yokogawa's magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems and developing new, proprietary products including medical-use IT systems and cameras, Ricoh hopes to develop the medical field into a business with sales of 50 billion yen ($437 million) by 2025.
