CEO Frans Venker comments:
"About a year ago we set out to also improve sales efficiency in all our regions. This entailed global coordination, collaboration, and ensuring we have the right resources in the right place. Today, we start to see early results of this transition. Combined with a market recovery from tariffs, general uncertainty, and volatility in exchange rates, the overall result is encouraging growth.
I am proud of what we have achieved so far, which is also reflected in our overall numbers. While most projects come from a broad customer base in the US, net sales in EMEA and APAC increased by 46% and 22% respectively in the quarter. The Americas performed somewhat below last year with net sales decreasing 4% in the quarter. However, we don't see any indication of wavering demand in the Americas as sales were mainly impacted by the timing of projects.
As the summer approaches, the MedTech industry enters an intense period filled with conferences and congresses. This is a crucial time to showcase our solutions and build awareness. Although macroeconomic uncertainty persists, the funnel of activity and the prospects remain high. I remain encouraged by our progress and leading market position. There is high interest in all our services and product lines as reflected by our performance for three consecutive quarters. Mentice stands much stronger today than a year ago, with increased growth potential for the future."
