MAQUET IS THE GLOBAL MARKET LEADER IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Sometimes it is time to reflect on things. Time to take a look back at values, traditions and successes before laying claim to the market leadership. For over 165 years MAQUET has been demonstrating its competence in medical technology. History is there for us to learn from it. This also applies to the history of a company and its customers. The decisive factor is reacting to the changing times that shape this history – to the developments in technology and science, to political and economic situations, to changes in society itself.
Tradition is the key to the future
The world of medical technology has changed fundamentally since MAQUET constructed the so-called “patient chairs” for the transport and operation of patients more than 125 years ago and since it presented the world’s first motor-powered operating table in 1955. Since then MAQUET has seen tremendous growth and is now the global market leader for complete medical solutions in the operating room and the intensive care unit. In its Critical Care, Cardiopulmonary and Surgical Workplaces divisions MAQUET has developed a particular understanding for future needs and know-how in the OR environment and in hospital ICUs. The entire product range from MAQUET guarantees the greatest-possible security and reliability, meeting the highest medical and technical standards – and thus ensuring optimum treatment for patients.
The company
MAQUET is a subsidiary of the publicly-listed Swedish group of companies GETINGE AB (turnover of 1.735 billion euros in 2006). The claim of ranking among the best providers of medical technology globally is an obligation for MAQUET to deliver quality, reliability, innovation and service. With 2,984 employees MAQUET posted sales of 608.35 million euros in the past fiscal year. With 30 sales and service subsidiaries and over 200 specialist dealers and service personnel worldwide MAQUET offers a high degree of customer proximity.
MAQUET – The Gold Standard.
