CEO comments on the continuing positive trend
"Sales continued to grow at a fast rate in the first quarter this year. In
Europe and North America our partners are working at the same high intensity as
before, and we are seeing the results. During the period we have also actively
trained and supported our partners in South-East Asia where demand for our
products is beginning to take off.
We continue to see a strong underlying demand for our products. Consequently
our great challenge is to adapt both production and organization to this demand.
In the coming quarters we will increase investment in our own organization by
adding employees in support functions for distributors and end customers, while
also taking measures to strengthen product supply.
As we report on our global sales our thoughts naturally also turn to Japan and
the Japanese people who were severely hit by the earthquake earlier this year.
As far as we can judge neither our partner Sysmex nor our own operations in
Japan were affected. It is at present difficult to assess how CellaVision's
business will be affected in the coming quarters, but in the short term we
believe the effect will have limited consequences for our sales and the supply
of Japanese components.
CellaVision continues to work with strong determination on our plan for further
international market expansion and continued product development in 2011."
