The Public Face of Sulzer Medica
Executive Summary
Sulzer Medica is one of Europe's leading medical device firms. But during the 1990s, though it grew nicely, it still trailed other, US-based multi-national device firms. That was because the company had struggled with product development and had no publicly-traded stock with which to acquire new businesses. Now fresh from a successful IPO, Suler is ready to play by a whole new set of rules.
