Posted on 29 Aug 2007
Varian Medical Systems (Palo Alto, CA, USA), a leading supplier of radiotherapy products for treating cancer, celebrated the grand opening and inauguration of a new manufacturing plant in China on July 28, 2007. More...


The new plant, situated in the Beijing Economic Technical Development Area (BDA), will produce linear accelerators for the treatment of cancer patients in China. The project, which took 14 months to complete, received significant support from the municipal government of Beijing, as well as the BDA.

With this grand opening we are celebrating a great opportunity to offer more cancer treatment centers products and technology for advanced radiotherapy, said Varian president and CEO Tim Guertin. Mr. Guertin hosted the celebration together with Dow Wilson, president of Varian's Oncology Systems business and Wang Xiao Yun, managing director of Varian Medical Systems Beijing Co., Ltd. Other guests included officials from Beijing's municipal government and the Beijing Economic-Technological Development area, the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce, and nearly 100 customers and other partners from Beijing and other parts of the country.

Varian will initially use the Beijing manufacturing facility and team to produce the Clinac CX, a medical linear accelerator designed to meet the specifications of cancer treatment centers in China. Furthermore, the company is planning to add an X-ray service facility incorporating X-ray tube assembly in support of its expanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and service business. Varian is an independent supplier of X-ray tubes for advanced diagnostic applications including compute tomography (CT) scanning, radiography, and mammography.

The new factory adds capacity complementary to Varian's main manufacturing site in Palo Alto, and positions the company to meet increasing global demand for its medical linear accelerators. It consists of an office building, as well as an advanced manufacturing facility built in strict accordance with the company's global design, construction, and quality standards. It is a multifunctional facility housing manufacturing, marketing, sales, service, sourcing, engineering, and customer education and training.

Probe light from a visible (red) diode laser and pump light from a modulated quantum cascade laser (QCL) are coupled into optical fibers and delivered to a flexible, handheld imager (blue dashed box). The beams are combined at a short-pass dichroic mirror and focused onto the sample using an off-axis parabolic mirror (OAP). (Image Credit:Rohith Reddy, University of Houston)
