The ÅF Group is in the final stages of negotiations with Siemens-Elema, a Siemens Group company, to take over the company's Stockholm-based strategic development operations within the field of mammography. Agreement will involve the transfer of some twenty Siemens employees to the ÅF Group.

 

Under the terms of the agreement the ÅF Group would support Siemens Medical Solutions by taking over a large portion of the development work being carried out within digital mammography. One of the motives behind the current negotiations is the restructuring of Siemens Medical Solutions' operations in Sweden.
