Danaher

Continuous improvement is central to Danaher's approach to automation, science, and technology. Stephen and Mitchell Rales founded the business in 1969 as a real estate investment trust, and the Japanese principle of kaizen became a guide for its development and improvement processes. This outlook helped Danaher grow into a leading automation company with a global role in science and technology. By applying modern automation to difficult environmental and medical problems, the company has advanced work in dentistry, manufacturing solutions, and medical diagnostics. Its broader purpose is to use automation technology to address some of life's toughest challenges and contribute to the public good.
