Description

Danaher Corporation is an American globally diversified conglomerate founded by brothers Steven and Mitchell Rales in 1984². The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and designs, manufactures, and markets medical, industrial, and commercial products and services.

The company has primarily grown by acquisitions and historically has tried to maintain a very low public profile². Danaher was one of the first companies in North America to adopt the Kaizen principles to manufacturing, which is a lean manufacturing Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement and elimination of waste.

Danaher is comprised of a diverse set of businesses across Biotechnology, Diagnostics, and Life Sciences united by a shared commitment to innovate for tangible impact.
