Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR);

Three analysts and top management from sixteen sector firms examine the industrial manufacturing sector in this special 83-page Industrial Manufacturing issue from The Wall Street Transcript, available at (212/952-7433) or http://www.twst.com/info/info522.htm

“One company in the industrial manufacturing space that really stands out above the rest is Danaher,” reports a top analyst. “Over the last decade, management at Danaher has built a tremendous culture. Danaher has very strong operations, which they have jump started with internal sales growth programs. Additionally, Danaher has generated a ton of cash and reinvested via acquisitions. Danaher has developed this all over the last decade while it would take another company decades to do anything similar. Not only does this recent performance set Danaher ahead of its peers, it is also a testament to the performance of management. Danaher, I believe, will continue to do well. As far as the long term goes, I would say Danaher has the management strength and game plan execution to do very well.” Another analyst continues, “Danaher is just top notch. Danaher has done a great job recently; in fact, they always do a good job. There is no question. Danaher is among the top managed companies in the universe. There are companies out there that have impressed me over the last 18 months but Danaher has impressed me over the last decade.
