Munich-based Brainlab contemplates IPO
Firing Up for Profits 🚀 Brainlab, the Munich medical tech titan, is readying for an IPO curriculum on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange this summer📈
This move comes as the company, renowned for software and hardware for operations and therapies, identifies new opportunities presented by technologies like AI, AR, and cloud 🤖. In a second attempt on the market, Brainlab aims to raise €200 million, intending to bolster its business expansion 💼.
Brainlab, with a team of around 2,000 forward-thinkers, offers software and hardware for surgical procedures and tumor radiation therapies, boasting about 4,000 clients worldwide 🌐. The journey began 35 years ago by the company's founder, Stefan Vilsmeier, who recently took a backseat from operational duties 👩🚀.
The company's first half of the year numbers are impressive, generating €239 million revenue and an operating profit margin of 22.4% 📈. Previously eyeing an IPO in 2001, the team had to shelve the plans due to market turbulence on the Neuer Markt 💔. Brainlab joins Berlin-based auto parts retailer Autodoc on the list of companies eyeing a summer IPO, before the stock market takes a pause for its annual break 🏖️.
