CEO Jethro Holter comments:
"Sales continue to grow despite headwinds related to seasonal effects with
customer vacations and the foreseen void created following the pandemic where
demand for enzymes for Coronavirus-related applications has vastly reduced.
The main growth driver for the quarter was the Biomanufacturing business.
Molecular tools achieved flat performance for the quarter but growth for the
first nine months.
Inorganic growth initiatives advance to discussions with a select group of
international companies."
