CEO's comment
"CellaVision's positive trend of 2007 continued into the first quarter of 2008. We can report sound sales growth and are continuing to strengthen our position in the market," says Yvonne Mårtensson, CEO of CellaVision. "A large American commercial laboratory chain has purchased the CellaVision® DM96 for 14 of their laboratories. This further validates CellaVision's belief that our technology delivers significant cost benefits to the clinical laboratory. To use the positive momentum, we will now add more sales resources in the US."
"Following our evaluation of the Japanese market we have registered our own subsidiary in Japan. During the year we will develop the organisation in order for it to be operative when all the necessary licenses have been obtained. Thereafter we will begin focusing on sales either direct or parallel to national distributors. Our increased market activity level may negatively influence our cash balance at the end of the year."
