History
Haemonetics started out producing the containers and bags required for blood collection. The Latham Bowl was a disposable container that could automate the separation of blood by centrifugation. In 1995 the company purchased the Intravenous Solutions manufacturing facility in Union, South Carolina. Additional acquisitions grew the company and expanded its services. In the following years the company branched off to making the whole plasma collection station including the machine, supplies and software for plasma collection. Acquisitions included Canadian based 'Fifth Dimension' (5D) Information Systems to gain entry into the blood and plasma software industry. Further acquisitions included Arryx in 2006, Information Data Management Inc. in 2007, Haemoscope in 2007, Infonale in 2007, Altivation, Sebra, and Neoteric Technology Ltd in 2009, Global Med Technologies Inc. in 2010 and Pall Corporations' Transfusion Medicine Business in 2012.
