Welch Allyn, manufacturer of diagnostic products and medical devices, plans to ramp up its presence in India. The US-based company has a range of products such as stethoscope, ophthalmoscope, BP monitors, cardio-pulmonary and thermometry devices. Though the company''s products have been distributed in India for the last 30 years, its business from India is less than $3 million. “Welch Allyn has drawn up an “aggressive” five-year strategy to focus on the Indian market, as we target revenues of $5 million by 2015,” says Mr Con Hickey, Senior V-P, Japan, Asia Pacific and Africa. Welch Allyn has chosen Garuda Med Equipments as its exclusive marketing and distribution partner in India. Garuda is in the process of setting up 40 regional dealers across the country; each State will have at least one service point. The aim is to focus on customers in primary healthcare centres and B&C class cities and rural markets. Visit for more information: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/article2429971.ece
