Nonin acquired Hudiksvall, Sweden-based capnography manufacturing company MedAir AB in 2006. The new expansion allows the company to transfer the burden of its European customers from its Minneapolis headquarters, according to a press release.
The sales and administrative changes also mean Nonin will now manufacture all of its U.S. capnography products in Minneapolis, with some exceptions. Nonin said it will continue to manufacture its full line of noninvasive physiological monitoring products in the Twin Cities, with the exception of its European capnography products. The company will also continue to serve all of its OEM customers from its hometown.
