PROFILE |
 |
Aerospace, industrial, and medical products by Smiths Group aren't quite as ubiquitous as its moniker, although they do range from avionics for the Eurofighter to Needle-Pro, a device that prevents needle-stick injuries. Smiths' aerospace division accounts for 40% of sales and makes avionics and navigation systems for civilian and military customers in the US, the UK, and other countries. The industrial group (one-third of sales) makes fans, hosing, ducting, conduits, and connectors. The company's disposable surgical devices and other medical equipment account for nearly 30% of sales. Smiths, which was known as Smiths Industries before acquiring TI Group, operates manufacturing plants in the UK, the US, and Europe.
