Smiths halts medical unit split to focus on ventilator production

Tue, 31st Mar 2020 07:33

March 31 (Reuters) - UK's Smiths Group said on
Tuesday the separation of its medical unit will be delayed, as
it focuses on making and delivering ventilators to hospitals
tackling the shortage of life-saving equipment as the
coronavirus spreads.

The company also cancelled its dividend payment and said it
was looking at cutting costs, bracing for a drop in overall
global demand for its range of products in other areas.
