Read MoreHide Full Article
Braun, a subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company (PG - Free Report) , recently introduced a new model of the Braun Series 9 electric shaver in its biggest market, the U.S.

The company has consistently increased market share in fast growing businesses over the years through innovation and product launches.
