Siemens AG scrambled to deny a report this week in the Financial Times German edition that the company is planning a radical restructuring. The article implied that Siemens might sell several divisions, including its medical technology business, in order to focus on information technology and communications.
In a press release issued by Siemens corporate headquarters in Erlangen, the company said statements attributed to CFO Heinz-Joachim Neubùrger were distorted and that a radical restructuring is not in the works.

In fact, healthcare is the companys fifth-most-profitable business segment, according to Joe Camaratta, VP of marketing for Siemens Medical Systems in Iselin, NJ.
