The Iconic American Brands Are No Longer American

Medtronic, renowned for pioneering cardiac devices like compact pacemakers, not only leads in heart care but also offers insulin pumps and diabetes solutions. Founded in 1949, its roots are in Fridley, Minnesota, marking its legacy in medical innovation.

Despite its Minnesota origins, Medtronic operates globally from its Dublin, Ireland headquarters. It’s a global player in medical devices, owning entities like Mazor Robotics. In 2020, Geoffrey S. Martha took the helm as CEO, steering the $30 billion enterprise towards new heights.
