British engineering company Smiths Group (SMIN.L) is in early-stage talks on a sale of its medical division which could raise more than 2 billion pounds ($3.04 billion), a source familiar with the situation said on Thursday. The firm began investigating a possible disposal after an approach from U.S. healthcare group CareFusion (CFN.N), the source said, confirming a report on the Financial Times website. There has been no decision to sell, nor any agreement on price, the source added. Smiths Group declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
