Our Company was founded in 1971 and became publicly owned for the first time in
1979. In 1983, American Hospital Supply Corporation (“AHS”) acquired us. When
Baxter Travenol Laboratories, Inc. (Baxter) acquired AHS in 1985, Baxter
divested the Haemonetics business to address antitrust concerns related to the
AHS acquisition. As a result, in December 1985, a group of investors that
included E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“Du Pont”) and present and former
Haemonetics employees purchased us. We were incorporated in Massachusetts in
1985. In May 1991, we completed an Initial Public Offering.
We are a pioneer and a market leader in developing and manufacturing blood
processing technology. Our systems help ensure a safe and adequate blood supply
and assist blood banks and hospitals in their efforts to operate efficiently and
in compliance with regulatory requirements.
