Executive Summary
Dantec Medical (Denmark) saw sales increase 9% in 1994 to DKr 198 million ($37 million), while pre-tax profits were DKr 11.6 million, compared with a loss of DKr 12 million in 1993. Some 97% of overall sales were exported, according to the annual report of Incentive, Dantec's parent company. Dantec, which claims to lead the world urology market, suffered a decline in US business during 1994 as a result of continued recession and the delay in FDA approval of the company's Keypoint EMG system. Dantec says it expects approval to be granted during 1995. This downturn was, however, more than offset by success in other markets, particularly Germany, Japan and China.
