News sources on Friday reported that medical device firm Stryker plans to expand into markets outside of the U.S.

Kevin Logo, president and CEO of the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company, told an audience at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco this week that the company wants to boost its non-U.S. sales by expanding into emerging markets and revamping its European business.

Before the end of 2012, Stryker announced that it was laying off 5 percent of its workforce due to the 2.3 percent medical device tax, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2013.
