A global presence and infrastructure is one of Baxter's key strengths. In 2008, nearly 60 percent of Baxter's sales and workforce were outside the United States. With manufacturing facilities located throughout the world, Baxter's philosophy of manufacturing locally allows the company to better manage production, costs and pricing. |
