B Braun Melsungen AG (Braun), headquartered in Melsungen, Germany, is a global manufacturer of healthcare products for hospitals and the non-clinical sector. The company's portfolio comprises more than 30,000 products, including anaesthetics, infusion systems and solutions, surgical instruments, orthopaedic and spinal implants, dialysis equipment, sutures, wound care and disinfection products, as well as services such as consultancy for hospitals and patients, dialysis centres and professional training and education. Braun also has an OEM business through which it provides a wide range of products and contract manufacturing services.

Braun's products and services are organised within four principal divisions: the Hospital Care division, Aesculap, the Out Patient Market (OPM) division and B Braun Avitum.

For fiscal 2007 and 2008, Braun is aiming for annual sales growth of 10%, with profit rising by at least 15%. As in 2006, the focus will continue to be on the expansion of core business areas. While Braun believes global healthcare expenditure will continue to rise, the company also expects to come under increased price pressure in many markets due to limited budgets in the medical sector. In order to counteract this, Braun plans to make further investments to enhance productivity, intensify research and improve service concepts.

Braun sees particularly good opportunities to establish a stronger market position for its standard products in the raw material-rich growth markets of Latin America, the consistently high-growth markets of Asia and, above all, in Russia. In China, the company believes its commencement of local manufacturing will bring a significant improvement in market position in the future. In the developed US market, Braun will also benefit from its many contracts with large GPOs such as Premier and Novation.

Another area of concentration is the expansion of Braun's service business, which experienced a 25% increase in sales in 2006. In the US, the outsourcing of hospital pharmacy functions to the company's Central Admixture Pharmacy Services (CAPS) division is proceeding. The B Braun Avitum Division is also continuing on course for expansion.
