Tuttlingen is up there worldwide
Mr Beck, you’re mayor of a small town with 35,000 inhabitants. It’s called Tuttlingen and is a world centre? The world centre of medical technology – no more, but no less. And when you talk with doctors, regardless of where they come from, they’ll confirm that. Whether in Asia or the US, in the Arab Emirates or in South America, everywhere in the world products from Tuttlingen are used in diagnosis and operations and as implants, OP lamps made in Tuttlingen ensure light. It’s perhaps our bad luck that the end consumers rarely come face-to-face with our products because they’re usually narcotised when in direct contact with them, but this of course has its good reason. If we produced everyday products for the normal consumer and had the same market position, probably really everyone would know Tuttlingen.
