Corporate development

EXAMION started under the name of Arzt & Praxis GmbH which was founded in 1989 and initially entered the market with the practice administration software “medibit”. Already 1992, a digital X-ray system was launched, and during the 1990s, further products were developed and the first CR systems were presented. 

Ten years after the company’s foundation, Bernd Schleicher took up his place in the management alongside Andreas Oppermann, and at the beginning of the 2000s, existing collaborations with well-known manufacturers were extended and new collaborations were started. In 2006, the DIX-Ray Medical Imaging GmbH was founded in Munich. By then more than 500 CR systems had been installed already. Shortly after, the sale of the first DR retrofit system, which was developed in-house, represents another important milestone in the company's history.

DIX-Ray Poland was founded to expand sales channels internationally, and by 2012 more than 3,000 of your X-ray systems had been installed worldwide — 10% of which were DR systems. One year later, the Arzt & Praxis GmbH became EXAMION GmbH and we relocated to the new company headquarters in Fellbach. 

The group of companies continued to expand and the Swiss company Schenk Röntgenbedarf AG (2014), the Belgian company Vet X SPRL (2016) and the Kronberg-based company Electronic Medical GmbH (2017) became part of the EXAMION Group. For our customers, this means that we are always close by, nationwide as well as internationally. The approximately 7,000 systems that we currently service are mostly permanently installed systems in hospitals and medical practices, but some are also used on mobile devices.
