BD has been honoured as one of the most admired companies in the world in a new listing compiled by Fortune Magazine.

The healthcare firm was voted by its peers as the most prestigious company in the medical and other precision equipment category, according to the latest World’s Most Admired Companies ranking.

In addition to this, the company came top in terms of financial soundness, people management, quality of management, quality of products/services and use of corporate assets, while its long-term investment and global competitiveness were also praised.

Edward Ludwig, chairman and chief executive officer of BD, expressed pride over the firm’s performance in the ranking, which was its best to date.

He said: “We are very pleased to receive this recognition, which is testament to the dedication of our 29,000 associates around the globe who work every day to help all people live healthy lives.”

Last week, the company took a step towards expanding its global manufacturing capacity with the inauguration of a new manufacturing site in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
