Inspired by such an excellent performance we can only continue on the road to profitability.” Mr Boucher added: The integration of the Orthoconcept operation unfolded very well and the company performed very well despite the recession and a difficult financial context. The healthcare industry is one of necessity and this, added to Ergoresearch’s important competitive advantages due to its intellectual property, allow us to see the future with optimism. Ergoresearch will pursue the achievement of its business plan in the coming year and will keep searching for new opportunities and does not exclude other acquisition projects.
