CEO Anders Karlsson's comments on the third quarter 2011:
"The greatly improved operating results for the third quarter are a good indication of what the company is capable of delivering. Above all, sales in North America continue to show strong growth, while steady growth also continues in Europe. We are now beginning to see that our investments in proprietary sales channels in recent years is generating returns. In mid-October, Allenex participated in the annual tissue typing congress, ASHI, in New Orleans, at which response from customers was very positive. We have rapidly built up a good reputation in the North American market and our products continue to win market share. During the quarter, we continued our work to make operations more efficient and have established a joint operating organization for our entire transplantation sector operations. Going forward, we will continue to see significantly lower costs in terms of synergies and rationalization as a result of the streamlining."
