GE Healthcare Life Sciences is now Cytiva
GE Healthcare Life Sciences of Marlborough, no longer part of Boston conglomerate General Electric, now has a new name and logo.
The company is now known as Cytiva, changing its familiar GE logo for a more modern, lowercase wordmark and a waterdrop-like emblem.
GE sold GE Healthcare Life Sciences to Danaher Corp. in a $21.4-billion deal announced in February 2019 and closed on March 31. The Washington, D.C., company has incorporated Cytiva within Danaher's $6.5-billion life sciences division, with Cytiva now including Danaher's other life sciences brands including ÄKTA, Amersham, HyClone, MabSelect and Whatman.
In all, Cytiva has nearly 7,000 employees and operations in 40 countries, according to Danaher. The now-former GE Healthcare Life Sciences employed 835 in Central Massachusetts and 963 statewide as of mid-2019, according to the Worcester Business Journal's list of the area's largest employers.
GE Healthcare Life Sciences moved its division headquarters to Marlborough in 2016, taking up part of a former Digital Equipment Corp. office it now shares with Quest Diagnostics and regional offices of Whole Foods Market. The 210,000-square-foot facility was a $27-million investment for the company, the WBJ reported at the time.
Company officials said then the move from New Jersey was done in part to better leverage GE's 2012 acquisition of Xcellerex, a Marlborough company specializing in single-use bioreactors.
