ROB ALBERT, CEO: B. Braun is an over 185-year-old company, a global manufacturer of medical devices and pharmaceutical products, distributing worldwide, in the U.S. and globally.
We manufacture products that are in I.V. therapy. B. Braun has been in the Bethlehem area for over four decades. Pennsylvania's been an outstanding place for us to develop our company here. We now ship in a day what we shipped in a year.
MIGUEL PEREZ, SENIOR DEMAND PLANNER: B. Braun is committed to provide high quality products and put them in the hands of patients, hospitals, clinics and distribution centers.
MIKE BARTHOLOMEW, VICE PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER OF MANUFACTURING: Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley, we have a long history of manufacturing. The culture in the Lehigh Valley is really a manufacturing culture and environment. We happen to be in a proximity where we are a 24-hour ride away from 40% of the U.S. population.
JACQUELINE ORBACH, PRODUCT MANAGER: Pennsylvania and particularly the Lehigh Valley, have become a strong center for the medical device manufacturing due to its blend of skilled talent, strategic location, and also steady investments. And I believe all these factors have fostered a vibrant life-science community that continues to grow and attracts professionals from across the country and around the globe.
SCOTT BLAIR, VICE PRESIDENT, WORKFORCE BELONGING AND INCLUSION: Pennsylvania has the talent to be able to impact our organizations throughout the Commonwealth, but especially here at B. Braun. Whether it's our long history in manufacturing, but of course, some of our higher ed institutions, and their focus on STEM, the opportunities are immense.
ROB: So, I've been at B. Braun for over 40 years now. For me, it's always been about the people. And when you think about people and what we do to serve patients and help the health care system deliver first class care to those patients, our mission is to improve the health of people around the world.
