Boston Scientific Corporation Plots China Expansion, Seeks Acquisitions

Boston Scientific isn’t the only one hiring, others are hiring too! Check it out! (Isn’t it tempting?)

Boston Scientific Corp. BSX +0.42% is boosting staff, opening surgeon-training centers and eyeing acquisitions in China as it aims to offset sluggish medical device sales back home. Still, executives at the Natick, Mass., medical-device maker say they face stiff competition, regulatory challenges and bureaucratic barriers there. “Access is always a challenge,” said Warren Wang, vice president and managing director of Boston Scientific’s China division, referring to the company’s ability to tap new patients. The device maker wants 30% sales increases each year over the next five years in China, said Mr. Wang, adding that the company is on target from a small base.

Don’t forget, hundreds of biopharma companies are hiring! (We know you can’t resist.)
