Acquisition Plans
The company plans to acquire businesses that help the company penetrate foreign markets and accelerate expansion in China. 3M plans to spend about $1 billion on acquisitions in the next 12 months, with as many as 20 purchases in different industries, Buckley said in October.
The company plans to invest in health care, which now represents about 20 percent of its portfolio, along with water infrastructure and renewable energy.
“We’ll continue to invest aggressively in our core and at the same time continue to make modest acquisitions at about the same rate we’ve been making in recent years,” said Buckley, 62.
The company in November predicted the economy will recover steadily over a long period. 3M today will hold an investor and analyst meeting in New York.
