Platinum Equity to Acquire DMS Health Technologies

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 6, 2012) - Platinum Equity announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DMS Health Technologies from Otter Tail Corporation. Platinum did not disclose terms of the agreement. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and certain closing conditions.

"DMS Health Technologies has a great reputation and we share the company's commitment to the highest levels of customer service," said Brian Wall, the partner at Platinum Equity whose team is leading the DMS acquisition. "We look forward to working with the company's highly-qualified employees, valued customers and other partners to help DMS achieve its full potential."

DMS Health Technologies provides mobile, interim and fixed-site diagnostic imaging solutions to hospitals, clinics and other medical providers, including MRI, CT, PET/CT, nuclear medicine and digital mammography systems. The company also sells and services Philips Medical diagnostic imaging and monitoring equipment in the upper Midwest region and sells and rents refurbished medical equipment.
