Richard Wolf has been named "Global Market Leader 2018" in the segment "Endoscopes and endoscopic imaging products".

For Richard Wolf, the past few years have been shaped mainly by the global expansion of its business and the founding of new subsidiaries. For a globally active company, it is particularly important to establish new subsidiaries in order to have a local presence in the most important markets. In recent years, the company has also undergone major changes in communication. The new positioning of the Richard Wolf brand in the market has had a positive impact on how existing and potential customers see the company. Over time, the brand has become an important part of the company's strategic communication and has had a clearly positive effect on return on investment.

From the very beginning, Richard Wolf has built up core skills and extensive experience in endoscopy products and systems designed for a wide range of disciplines in human medicine. The company has already brought several innovative camera systems for endoscopic imaging to market. The latest addition is the ENDOCAM Logic 4K, with state-of-the-art technology and full 4K resolution. High-resolution imaging allows the surgeon to identify even smaller, finer structures very clearly. The wealth of detail creates such vivid images that the surgeon gains unprecedented spatial orientation and depth perception.

In the future, Richard Wolf will continue to focus on developing innovative, pioneering endoscopy products.
