Sulzer Ltd
 PROFILE
Formerly a highly diversified conglomerate, Sulzer has been forced to trim its sails to stay competitive. The company has begun selling noncore industrial operations as part of an effort to focus on its surface and materials technology businesses. In 2001 Sulzer spun off to shareholders its majority stake in Sulzer Medica, which makes orthopedic devices (including medical and dental implants) and cardiovascular prostheses (including heart valves). The Sulzer Medica spinoff helped ward off a takeover bid from InCentive Capital, Sulzer's largest shareholder.
