Positioned as a market leader
With U.S. healthcare expenditures expected to more than double in less than eight
years, Stanley continues to position itself to be a market leader within this
growing industry. Based on our current niche within the areas of Long-Term
Care, Acute Care and Healthcare storage, we estimate an addressable market of over
$1 billion that is growing at healthy clip.
Safety and security
Stanley's healthcare-related businesses are leaders in providing safety and security
systems that aid in:
- Infant protection
- Wireless communication
- Wander prevention
- Departure alert
- Fall management applications
Looking forward
We continue to stay focused on our Five Customer
Touchpoints as we build out this platform, and our vision remains
to be a provider of solutions that ensure high-performance care and results.
For 2010 and beyond, we're looking forward to building out our National Account
Program and expanding our platform via acquisitions with a focus on global expansion.
In terms of organic growth, we have key product initiatives we're excited to launch
in 2010, so stay tuned.
