Executive Summary
Japanese medical device maker Terumo expands its operations in South Africa. Since the company established an office in Johannesburg in October 2007, the staff has increased from six to eight to accommodate a higher demand for cardiovascular and circulation products such as pump oxygenators. The company plans to further expand to nine staff next year. Starting this year, Terumo also obtained a license and started training local physicians, aiming to expand its catheters in the country. The company is also considering introducing syringes with safety functions to the market as South Africa has a high rate of infection caused by injection needles.
