Sonic bought American Clinical Services in New Jersey and Woodbury Clinical Laboratory in Tennessee. They are the latest in a string of acquisitions for Sonic, which spent A$1 billion buying laboratories in 2007. Company secretary, Paul Alexander, said Sonic would continue to target acquisitions in the US and Europe. (Australian Financial Review – www.afr.com)
