Teleflex Incorporated

Teleflex Incorporated is a global provider of medical technology products designed to enhance clinical benefits, improve patient and provider safety, and reduce total procedural costs. The company primarily designs, develops, manufactures, and supplies single-use medical devices. These devices are used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. Teleflex markets and sells its products to hospitals and healthcare providers worldwide through a combination of its direct sales force and distributors. The company is not dependent upon any single end-market or procedure due to the diverse applications of its products. Major manufacturing operations are located in the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Mexico, and the United States. Teleflex aims for consistent, sustainable, and profitable growth and improved financial performance by increasing market share and operating efficiencies. This is pursued through developing new products and product line extensions, investing in new technologies, expanding product use in existing markets and introducing them into new geographic markets, achieving economies of scale, and expanding its product portfolio via select acquisitions, licensing arrangements, and business partnerships. The company's research and development capabilities, engineering focus, and low-cost manufacturing enable it to bring cost-effective, innovative products to market that improve healthcare safety, efficacy, and quality. Research and development initiatives focus on new therapeutic applications, as well as enhancements and product line extensions for existing products.
