Ortoprofil seeks to make 6m euros from medical equipment

Ortoprofit Prod Romania, based in Targu-Mures, one of the leading local producers of orthopaedic medical equipment, estimates it will see an over 6 million-euro turnover in 2007, a 20% increase for the financial indicators against last year, when the company saw an approximately 5 million-euro turnover. “The positive trend of the financial indicators will largely have to do with the budget being allocated to health insurance centres in order for them to produce medical equipment. With the entry of our country into the European Union, new financial advantages are beginning to emerge in terms of imports, as well as an increase in competition in the sector in which we operate,” the company’s general manager, Boga Ferenc told ZF Transilvania. In 2006, the company invested some 1.06 million euros in acquiring land and buildings, and for 2007, the company’s development and investment plans will be aimed at expanding production capacities both at the company’s headquarters and at its offices in the country. They will also go to the building of modern headquarters, as well as to boosting the professional level of the technical and administrative staff.
