Eyeing India as a manufacturing hub for its healthcare equipments, German conglomerate Siemens has big expansion plans to cater to the global market.
The company told PTI that it wishes to expand existing manufacturing base here to supply clinical products to other countries.
Unveiling its innovative plans, Fuenfstueck said the company wants to introduce more India-relevant products from the global basket like digital radiography.
She further added, the company also wants to provide access to quality healthcare to more Indians through Siemens' financial solutions.
She said, "Indian competition is very tough with aggressive pricing models. However, Siemens is a well established and large organisation with strong support for our customers. We gain a lot of experience in the fierce competition in India. This helps us to win in the global market."
At present, the company’s Goa plant manufactures diverse X-rays and c-arms for both domestic and global market. Moreover, its Baroda unit manufactures urine strips and reagents used for testing lab diagnostic samples.
Reportedly, the company said it installed the world's longest lab solution system at Mumbai-based Thyrocare Technologies.
Earlier in the month, Siemens launched a mobile X-ray system called Giraffe in Chicago for versatile use and demanding clinical situations.
