Roper Industries, a Sarasota, Fla.-based company that, among other lines of business, designs, manufactures and distributes medical and scientific imaging products and software, has acquired two firms to broaden its product reach.
The acquisitions are Strategic Healthcare Programs, a Santa Barbara, Calif., company creating software and analytics for hospices and home health programs, and Innovative Product Achievements, a Suwanee, Ga., firm that makes automated linen and surgical scrub dispensing equipment.
Roper shares were down slightly to $150.25 in early afternoon trading, off 58 cents for the day, the day following announcement of the deals.
