STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Q-Med (STO:QMED) sees continued weak deliveries of esthetic products to North America and Japan during the first quarter of 2008. Deliveries of esthetic products to North America are probably still being affected by the building up of inventories that occurred during the second and third quarters last year. Deliveries to Japan are being affected both by insufficient processing of the market as a consequence of the fact that Q-Med cannot be actively present in the Japanese market and by the fact that sales to one of the major customers are still being affected negatively as a consequence of the customer’s previous payment problems.
