Xoran Technologies recorded its best year in nearly a decade in 2014. The Ann Arbor-based company installed more of its Mini CAT CT scanners this year than any year since 2006.
"2014 was actually a really good year for us," says Rachel Gajda, director of marketing for
Xoran Technologies. "We hope to kick it up even more in 2015."
The 13-year-old bio-tech company manufacturers and sells point-of-care CT scanners. Its principal technology is
MiniCat, a compact machine that can produce high-resolution bone window imaging of the sinuses, temporal bones and the skull. It controls about 75 percent of the market it serves.
Xoran Technologies has been developing a second product called
xCAT, a mobile, inter-operative CT scanner. The company plans to start selling these in earnest within the next 12 to 18 months.
"2015 will bring Xoran Technologies to a new level of innovation and advancement," Gajda says.
In the meantime the firm is expanding its staff to accommodate that. It has hired seven people over the last year and is looking to bring on another six right now.
