The Boston Globe Recognizes ZOLL

ZOLL Medical Corporation, a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, has been named on the “Globe 100” list of top performing public companies in Massachusetts by The Boston Globe. This is the 20th annual listing that the newspaper has produced to rank top Massachusetts based public companies.

Based on a composite score derived from financial data for the four quarters ending December 31, 2007, ZOLL was ranked 43 among Massachusetts based companies whose stock is publicly traded, moving up from number 52 a year earlier in 2006. It is one of six medical device companies to have been included in the Globe 100.

“These companies represent the resiliency of Massachusetts business, surviving recessions, merger manias, and dramatic shifts in their industries," said Shirley Leung, business editor of the Boston Globe.

To qualify for the Globe 100, a company must have been public for the entire 2007 calendar year and have reported a positive net income for both 2006 and 2007.

“We are honored to be recognized in the company of Massachusetts’ strongest business organizations from various sectors, and delighted that our performance has climbed in ranking despite a turbulent economic climate,” said Richard A. Packer, president and chief executive officer of ZOLL.
