Amersham

Article Abstract:

Amersham has seen a strong performance from its healthcare division, but its life science division has performed less well. The company saw a 43% rise in sales of its pain reliever, Metastron, but life sciences have been hit by pressure on funding for academic research. Price competition has hit European operations. The company has acquired a 20% stake in Nihon MediPhysics with an option to increase this to 50%, which would give the company leadership in the world market.
