GE Healthcare, a maker of diagnostic imaging equipment, says it is moving its X-ray global headquarters from the United States to Beijing as it seeks to tap China and other emerging markets, The Associated Press reports.
The unit of Fairfield-based General Electric Co. is the first business of the industrial and financial giant to relocate to China.
Anne LeGrand, vice president and general manager of GE Healthcare Global X-Ray, told a news conference that the decision to move from Waukesha, Wisconsin, was made two years ago and will be completed by early fall.
