Trelleborg named as 'high leverage innovator'

New York - International consultants, Booz, Allen Hamilton have produced a report into global R&D spending patterns. The report names the top spenders in innovation, who are predictable enough - automotive, computer and pharmaceutical manufacturers - but also lists the companies who get most reward for their smaller innovation budgets.

Trelleborg AB makes it onto the latter list alongside more glamorous companies such as Dell, Google, eBay and others. Illinois Tool Works (better known as ITW) is also on the high leverage list, as are Parker-Hannifin, ExxonMobil, Caterpillar and Kobe Steel.
