Executive Summary
CR Bard plans to cut its European distribution centres from eight to one. The move is part of its restructuring measures, which are expected to result in a one-off charge in the third quarter. The benefit would be felt by 1999, explained the company's chairman, William Longfield. "We are looking at saving $40 million to $50 million in the cost of goods," he said. The company intends to focus on vascular, oncological and urological diagnosis and intervention.
