SKANEATELES FALLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Welch Allyn, a leading manufacturer of frontline medical products and solutions, today announced it has divested its surgical lighting and specialty metal halide (Solarc®) product lines. According to President and CEO Julie Shimer, the move is a key step in the company’s strategy to exit the surgical headlight and non-medical lighting portion of its business in order to fully focus on diagnostic medical devices, service and solutions for its customers. Welch Allyn plans to work aggressively over the transition period to minimize any impact on employees, and feels if business conditions remain stable most, if not all employees, will be retained and redeployed into the company.
