SUMMARY
Arrow International, headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA, develops,
manufactures and markets disposable catheters and related products for
critical and cardiac care. Arrow's critical care products are principally used
for central venous access in the administration of fluids, drugs and blood
products, as well as for patient monitoring, diagnosis and pain management.
The company's cardiac assist products are used in the diagnosis and treatment
of patients with heart and vascular disease and to provide short-term cardiac
assist following cardiac surgery, serious heart attack or balloon angioplasty.
In fiscal 2004, Arrow's revenue increased by 14% to US$52.7 million. Sales of
critical care products grew by 14% to US$369.8 million, representing 85% of
total revenue, while sales of cardiac care products rose by 11% to US$63.3
million.
Arrow operates US manufacturing sites in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania; Mount
Holly, New Jersey; and Everett, Massachusetts. In addition, its plant in
Asheboro, North Carolina, is being expanded to accommodate increased
production requirements, while one in Winston Salem, North Carolina, will be
closed as Arrow consolidates its North Carolina manufacturing operations; and
the site in San Antonio, Texas, acquired with NeoCare will be sold. Arrow is
also transferring production to its lower-cost plants in Mexico and the Czech
Republic.
This report provides a complete review of the company's activities, from its
origins to its latest corporate activity, including mergers and acquisitions,
agreements, divestitures, major purchasing contracts and litigation. Sections
