German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG is looking to divest its dental business, but plans to retain the bulk of its Medical Engineering Group, contrary to rumors that have surfaced in the European press recently.
Siemens reported April 21 that it is looking for a merger partner or acquirer for its Dental Systems division in Bensheim, Germany, and Pelton & Crane subsidiary in Charlotte, NC. Siemens said the move was part of the group's ongoing effort to improve its competitiveness and cost structure (SCAN 3/19/97).
