NBG And Siemens Healthineer Forge Groundbreaking Strategic Partnership in CT Slip Ring Technology

Milestone cooperation marks NBG’s emergence as a globally recognized innovator in medical imaging components

In a historic milestone for the medical imaging industry, NBG, a global specialist in precision slip ring technology, has officially entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineer, one of the world’s foremost medical technology companies. This partnership centers on the development and mass production of high-performance CT slip rings, essential components in the next generation of diagnostic imaging systems.

This collaboration is not only a commercial agreement—it is a resounding endorsement of NBG’s engineering strength, innovation capacity, and manufacturing excellence. It represents the first time Siemens Healthineer has established such a deep technical cooperation with a Chinese slip ring manufacturer in the CT field, and it signals a new era of global trust and cross-border collaboration in the med-tech supply chain.

A Journey of Innovation and Trust

The seeds of this partnership were planted in November 2021, when NBG and Siemens signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement, marking the official beginning of their cooperation. Over the course of 2022, both companies engaged in intensive dialogue, technical exchanges, and multi-level evaluations, with NBG demonstrating its mastery in CT slip ring engineering—an area requiring ultra-high precision, signal integrity, and long-life reliability.

By June 2023, the cooperation had crystallized into a full-fledged agreement covering multiple project scopes. This was soon followed by a series of milestone visits from Siemens’ global leadership:

August 24, 2023 – Global Chief Procurement Officer of Siemens Healthineer, visited NBG’s headquarters, initiating a new level of supplier engagement.

October 16, 2023 – The General Manager and CTO of Siemens Healthineer China’s CT Division conducted an in-depth visit, inspecting technical capabilities on-site.

November 24, 2023 – Global CTO of Siemens Healthineer,  Officially visited NBG to review R&D and quality systems—an extraordinary move that highlighted the strategic weight of the partnership.

These visits were more than ceremonial—they were high-level validations of NBG’s technological capabilities, product reliability, and alignment with Siemens' exacting global standards.

Entering the Next Chapter

NBG successfully completed its first mass delivery of CT slip rings to Siemens—an achievement that symbolized not just product success, but the realization of years of vision, collaboration, and trust-building.

With mass production now underway, the two companies are entering the next phase of cooperation, which is expected to include joint development of next-generation CT technologies, higher integration of supplier systems, and continuous innovation in high-reliability medical components.

Recognition on the World Stage

In February 2024, NBG was officially invited to attend the Siemens Healthineer Annual Supplier Conference as a qualified strategic supplier. This marked a major leap in recognition for NBG, placing the company within the top tier of Siemens’ global supply ecosystem.

The momentum continued into RSNA 2024, the world’s largest medical imaging exhibition, where NBG’s presence attracted global attention. Siemens Healthineer’s top leadership, including Global CTO and Global CPO, visited NBG’s booth in the Siemens Healthineer official RSNA exhibition journey, signaling to the global medical imaging community that NBG had emerged as a new force in the CT technology supply chain.

A Groundbreaking Start for Global Collaboration

“This partnership with Siemens Healthineer is a historic breakthrough—not only for NBG, but for the entire high-end medical component sector in world,” said David, Owner of NBG. “It reflects the trust placed in us by one of the world’s most respected med-tech companies and proves that NBG innovation and quality can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in the world.”

The partnership is also a model for future cross-border innovation in the medical device industry, showing that when engineering excellence, vision, and mutual trust align, new possibilities emerge—possibilities that will ultimately benefit millions of patients around the world through faster, more accurate, and more reliable imaging diagnostics.

With this strategic alliance, NBG is not just entering a new chapter—it is helping to write the future of medical imaging technology.
