Compete for Shareholders
plant to transform muddy, contaminated water into clean
potable water. Within three weeks, the treatment plant
was operational and supplying potable water to the largest
industrial plant in the region, employing 5,000 people. In
this disaster, dedication to our core values wasn’t limited to
associates in our Water Quality businesses. Videojet Brazil
associates, for example, aided flood victims by donating
clothing, shoes, food and over 2,500 liters of bottled water.
Our associates are equally
passionate about developing
cutting-edge technologies to
better meet our customers’
needs. Danaher Labs, our
Silicon Valley-based center of
digital innovation, now in its
second year, is helping our
operating companies move
to the forefront of digital
trends, particularly in data science, advanced analytics and
cloud infrastructure. Connected solutions, such as Videojet’s
Remote Service, which enables our technical support teams
to interact remotely with customer printers and systems
in the click of a mouse, are changing the way we interact
with and serve our customers. In this case, intelligent
printer monitoring and remote system access allow us to
proactively address service calls and resolve many routine
maintenance requests remotely in a matter of minutes, in
lieu of an on-site service visit.
THE BEST TEAM WINS
Our financial results and share gains demonstrate our
continuing ability to win in the markets we serve. But it’s
our global team of 81,000 associates that drives these
results each and every day and distinguishes us from our
peers. Our team’s commitment to our customers, DBS and
each other is my continued source of inspiration. I work for
them and for each of you. Thank you for the continued trust
you place in our team here at Danaher. I look forward to
rewarding that trust in the years to come.
Sincerely,
March 31, 2016
