Since its establishment in 1973, Schölly has evolved from a single-product manufacturer to a vendor of highly sophisticated visualisation systems for both medical and industrial applications. Today, more than 500 employees work in 11 locations in eight countries for the Schölly group. All products made by Schölly are targeted at making concealed structures visible and accessible for non-destructive/minimally invasive treatment, using such technologies such as micro-optics, fiberoptics and electronics.

We engaged Kreston to prepare our consolidated financial statements and the work is excellently co-ordinated.
