Strategie „Conquer New Waters“ treibt internationalen Ausbau noch schneller voran – China erstmals stärkster BRITA-Markt
Taunusstein, 17.05.2016. BRITA, weltweit ein Begriff für die Filtration von Trinkwasser, geht mit einem herausragenden wirtschaftlichen Erfolg in sein Jubiläumsjahr 2016. CEO Markus Hankammer, der das Familienunternehmen in zweiter Generation führt, sieht drei Gründe für die überaus positive Entwicklung: „An erster Stelle sind das die BRITA-Mitarbeiter in aller Welt, die mit ihrer engen Verbundenheit zum Unternehmen, ihrem Einsatz und ihrer Kreativität immer noch den einen wichtigen Schritt mehr gehen, durch den das Ziel erreicht wird. Dafür bin ich sehr dankbar. Dann spielt unsere Strategie ‘Conquer New Waters‘ eine wesentliche Rolle, die den zielgerichteten Ausbau unserer Geschäftsfelder sowohl geographisch als auch im Hinblick auf das Produktportfolio vorantreibt. Und drittens ist es die nachhaltige Produktlösung, die BRITA anbietet und deren Vorzüge Menschen in der ganzen Welt verstehen. Warum nicht einfach hygienisch einwandfreies Leitungswasser optimieren, statt Plastikwasserflaschen hin- und her zu transportieren und meist mit negativen Folgen für unseren Planeten und unsere Ozeane zu entsorgen. Bereits heute fließen mehr als 11 Milliarden Liter alternativ durch BRITA Wasserfilter und helfen so dabei, CO2 Emissionen zu verringern.“

Abbott announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Tecnis Symfony® Intraocular Lenses for the treatment of cataracts. The first in a new category of intraocular lenses (IOLs), the Tecnis Symfony lenses are the only lenses in the United States that provide a full range of continuous high-quality vision following cataract surgery, while also mitigating the effects of presbyopia by helping people focus on near objects. The FDA approval includes a version of the lens for people with astigmatism, the Tecnis Symfony Toric IOL.
Cataracts are a common condition, with almost 4 million cataract surgeries performed each year, and that number is expected to increase.1 By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.2 However, cataracts do not just impact seniors. In 2016 it is estimated that nearly one in four cataract surgeries will be performed on people younger than 65.1 Many people who have cataracts experience other problems with their vision, such as presbyopia and astigmatism, which the Symfony lenses also address. Presbyopia, which affects most people over age 40, means people have lost the ability to focus on objects up close and often require glasses to perform near visual tasks. Astigmatism is when the cornea is misshapen, which causes blurry or distorted vision.
