X-Ray Supplies was
established in 1939 when a radiographer and an engineer recognised the
shortages of equipment imports from England created by the Second World War. To
this end they began manufacturing accessories and equipment for x-ray
departments. X-Ray Supplies was formed and the brand Rayvue was born.
Within a short period of
time, Health & Beauty Salon owners approached X-Ray Supplies to assist with
manufacturing as their equipment was also unobtainable. X-Ray Supplies
continued to manufacture for both market segments for the next 70 years.
During the 1990’s mass
production of equipment in Australia was becoming less viable and importation
of some equipment commenced. By 2008 the dissimilarity of technologies meant separation
of the two divisions into separate companies - X-Ray Supplies Pty Ltd and
Elegans Health & Beauty Pty Ltd. Elegans was sold in 2010 and continues
independently (www.elegans.com.au) sharing the original Rayvue brand for some
product lines.
Today, X-Ray Supplies Pty Ltd is a leading supplier of high quality digital imaging and x-ray equipment to medical
imaging, chiropractic and veterinary practitioners across Australia and New
Zealand.
