The numerous medical technology companies located in and around Schaffhausen underline this impressively. Thanks to a sustainable location strategy over the past 20 years, our economic region has established itself as one of the leading locations for international corporations, and global pharmaceutical and medical technology companies such as Janssen-Cilag (Johnson&Johnson), ConvaTec, Medtronic, Covidien and Pharmacyclics control a wide range of business activities for Schaffhausen's European and global business.
