Decision Resources Buys AMR
Pharmaceutical and healthcare insight firm Decision Resources, Inc. has acquired Arlington Medical Resources, Inc. (AMR), a provider of market intelligence for the pharma and diagnostic imaging industries.
AMR, which will remain headquartered in Malvern, PA, also has offices in Brussels and affiliates in Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai. It carries out syndicated audits in the US, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Spain, China, Japan and Korea. The company offers clinical databases that directly monitor the usage of antibiotics and antifungals within the hospital setting, and that of 'contrast media' within various imaging market segments including diagnostic applications.
AMR co-founder Don Merrill says its products and services 'fit perfectly with the overall mission of Decision Resources, Inc. - providing quality analysis of commercially important healthcare markets' and that the buy will enable AMR to 'begin its next phase of growth'.
The acquisition is part of an aggressive growth strategy by Decision Resources, whose existing business units include managed care industry specialist HealthLeaders-InterStudy, medical device analysts Millennium Research Group (acquired in February 2006 - www.mrweb.com/drno/news5128.htm ), and drug market analysis division Decision Resources.
Peter Hoenigsberg, CEO of Decision Resources, Inc., comments: 'The common thread throughout all our business units is the quality of research we provide and AMR fits perfectly into our operation.'
