Danaher Aquisition Strategy7 May 2020 15:35
Mergers and acquisitions have been the driving force behind Danaher’s sustained growth for decades--the company has acquired hundreds of businesses since 1984. In the past several years, we've made notable additions to the Danaher portfolio, including Cepheid, Integrated DNA Technologies, AVT, and Pall. More than 50% of Danaher's total revenue today has been acquired in the past seven years.
But it’s not just about quantity—it’s about quality and strategic value. We look for innovative science and technology companies whose businesses will benefit from the Danaher Business System (DBS).
