“It is UIH’s goal to provide premium products and services for customers around the globe. In the past five years, we have established R&D centers in the U.S. that are exploring cutting-edge technology, as well as research on CT, MR, PET-CT, and RT products. We are building our U.S. regional headquarters in Houston, which will integrate R&D, production, training and marketing services to better serve our customers in the U.S.”
The newly established U.S. team is made up of experienced industry professionals who will provide customer-centric services to address the specific needs of local markets.
UIH’s North American business is led by Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey M Bundy, PhD, who has more than 20 years of industry experience and previously held positions in sales, marketing, and R&D, including serving as a global CEO in the imaging business from 2011 to 2015.
