Oxford Magnet Technology will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Medical Systems late next year. Siemens, which holds a 51% stake in the British company, plans to purchase the remaining shares in a deal valued at $15.5 million, according to a Nov. 11 company announcement.

Oxford Magnet Technology was founded in 1982 to commercialize proprietary technology for MR magnets and accessories.
