A word from the CEO
"AroCell experienced a high level of activity during the first quarter of the year. Sales continue to grow in both oncology and bacteriology and order intake is also showing a continued positive trend. Our focus has been on building for continued geographic expansion through new market openings, participation in international scientific conferences and intensive work with both existing and potential partners.
Revenue increased in both segments compared to the same quarter last year with a total increase of 20 percent. It is also worth noting that some revenue from December 2023 was carried over into January 2024, which means the actual sales growth compared to the same quarter last year is even higher than the figures indicate."
