CEO’s comments:
“For some time, we have been increasing our resources in Consumer Healthcare and it is gratifying to now see the positive effects of these investments. Net sales in the business area rose 21% to slightly more than MSEK 30 under the first six months of the year. Growth was primarily driven by the positive performance in the North American market. During the summer, we also signed two new agreements in Asia and Eastern Europe, two markets that are prioritised for our continued growth. We view both Bio-Life and AlenMed as strategic partners for our future expansion in these regions,” says Gun-Britt Fransson, interim CEO of Probi.
