About GE Healthcare and GE Healthcare Japan

GE Healthcare is a global leader in medical imaging, with over 100 years of experience and achievements in fields such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and PACS, supporting over 1 billion patients in approximately 160 countries. It spun off from the GE Group in January 2023 to become a newly independent publicly traded company.

GE Healthcare Japan, established in 1982 as a core hub for GE Healthcare, is dedicated to providing better medical care for customers and patients in Japan. It aims to realize "Precision Care" covering the entire care pathway from prevention to diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis management, offering intelligent devices, data analytics, software, and services. With R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service departments domestically, it promotes the implementation of global innovations in Japan, while also increasing Japan-originated initiatives, primarily at the Hino Plant.

The Hino Plant, which leads activities in Japan, was recognized as a "Lighthouse" by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020 as Japan's first factory leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is known for building new Japan-originated models in development and manufacturing, such as the Brilliant Factory concept based on Lean/Kaizen and strategic alliances to solve supply chain issues. In January 2026, the Hino Additive Manufacturing Center was opened at the Hino Plant to manufacture collimators for nuclear medicine and CT using 3D printers.

Furthermore, the company continues various initiatives contributing to solving Japan's medical challenges, including Revolution CT developed by incorporating Japanese customer needs, OriGEn a digital platform that not only provides necessary services in real-time but also promotes innovation in lifecycle management, and leading industry-government-academia medical collaborations to promote regional medical cooperation, which is increasingly important due to the aging population.

The company has approximately 1,500 employees in Japan, with its headquarters and 60 business locations.
