Danaher Corporation is an American globally diversified conglomerate founded by brothers Steven and Mitchell Rales in 1984. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the company designs, manufactures, and markets medical, industrial, and commercial products and services.[1] It has primarily grown by acquisitions, and historically has tried to maintain a very low public profile.[2][3] Danaher was one of the first companies in North America to adopt the Kaizen principles to manufacturing,[4] which is a lean manufacturing Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement and elimination of waste.[5]
