Bioservo Technologies AB (publ) Interim Report 1 January - 30 September
CEO Petter Bäckgren comments on the Third quarter of 2021
Bioservo sums up an eventful quarter with sales of SEK 2.3 million, which corresponds to an increase of approximately 30% compared to the comparison period. The sales result indicates that the market is on the way to recovering after Covid-19. During the period, deliveries of Ironhand to our French distributor were also initiated within the framework of the agreement entered into in the spring to purchase 100 systems with ongoing deliveries of 10 units per month.
Launch of Ironhand 2.0
During the period, the focus has been on introducing Ironhand 2.0. The updated product has a number of improvements that enhance the experience, broaden the application area and enable objective risk assessments through a completely unique app with built-in scientific risk models. The response from distributors and customers is consistently very positive and we are confident that the new product will begin to be used in companies to an increasing extent.
Directed share issue completed
During the period, a directed share issue was carried out and SEK 36.3 million was added to the company before transaction costs. The issue was carried out to strengthen Bioservo's commercial ability to carry out successful launches of Ironhand 2.0 and an update of Carbonhand 2.0 next year.
Relieved Covid-19 restrictions enable increased sales efforts
After a long period of severe restrictions on visits to production facilities in both Europe and the United States, we are now beginning to see a return to more normal conditions. As our distributors begin to gain access to customers, various evaluation projects for Ironhand are initiated. As part of our strategy to focus our efforts on the distributors who have the greatest potential, we carry out joint sales efforts towards large international customers.
Bioservo´s Italian distributor Tecno Italia is one of the companies that works intensively to introduce Ironhand to its customers, primarily in the automotive industry. By staff from Bioservo being able to be physically present and show how the new Ironhand 2.0 can reduce the risk of strain injuries, we have contributed to creating new sales opportunities.
Also in the US, Bioservo's distributors have finally been able to implement on-site sales efforts with customers during the quarter, initiatives that have already generated new sales of Ironhand 2.0 to companies in various industries; manufacturing industry, construction industry and production of consumer goods.
The French market continues to lead the way
As we have previously described, France is far ahead in terms of measures against work-related strain injuries. An example is Naval Group, Europe's leading company in naval defense, which is one of the companies that has been involved early and carried out positive tests with Ironhand and then uses the system for selected tasks in production. They have now chosen to invest in additional systems to broaden the use to more work tasks.
Other deliveries of Ironhand 2.0 to our French partners Gobio and Loxam have taken place according to the delivery plan previously communicated.
Carbonhand®
The work of preparing an international launch of the next generation of Carbonhand® 2.0 in 2022 is progressing. As part of our strategy to strengthen the network of distributors, we will be present at Medica 2021 in Germany, one of the largest global trade fairs within Med Tech. During the fair, a prelaunch of the
