RTKL ACQUIRES BEIJING-BASED AHS INTERNATIONAL

摘要

International mergers continue, even in a down economy: RTKL has acquired AHS International. In a simple asset purchase, the five-year-old, 43-person AHS becomes part of RTKL's worldwide, interdisciplinary practice. AHS specializes in hospital, laboratory, and medical facility design from offices in Beijing and Shanghai. The firms recently collaborated on the Shanghai Changzheng New Pudong Hospital.rnRTKL president and CEO Lance Josal noted in a press release that the acquisition gives RTKL a Beijing office, adding to the firm's presence in the Far East. "[M]ost importantly, it brings on board Kai Wang, a recognized leader in the design of hospitals," Josal said.
