CIVCO was founded as a machining company in 1982 in Dallas by Paul Korver, who designed and produced products for nuclear physicists, according to the company’s website. Soon after, he began developing products for radiation therapy. In 1989, he opened a facility in Orange City with three employees. In 1996, Paul and Anita Korver retired, selling the business to Clayton and Deb Korver. The company grew rapidly during the next several years, reaching 95 employees.

The company was sold in 2005 to Roper Technologies. The company’s legal name continued to be Medtec, but began doing business as CIVCO Radiotherapy. The company was acquired by a private equity firm in 2001. The following year, CIVCO joined with Qfix Systems, which also produces radiotherapy solutions.
