Lærdal founded the business in Stavanger, Norway, eventually evolving into a global healthcare company focused on saving lives through training, simulation, and emergency preparedness solutions.Laerdal introduced Resusci Anne in 1960, widely recognized as the first CPR training manikin, and the company reports that Resusci Anne has helped train 400+ million people, marking Laerdal as the most established and widely trusted brand in CPR training and readiness. This legacy matters; strong emergency outcomes depend on reliable equipment and practical training.
