Boditech Med reported its highest quarterly revenue ever

Boditech Med has achieved an all-time high in sales on account of soaring exportation of COVID-19 test kits. On the 12th, Boditech Med (CEO: Euiyul Choi) has announced its third-quarter sales figures. The company had a turnover of 40.6 billion won, which is the figure increased by 116% compared to the same period last year. The operating profit was 19.6 billion won, increased by 388%.

The company is also preparing for the post-COVID-19 era with longer-term growth plans. Its bestsellers ‘AFIAS’ and ‘ichroma™ II’ sold over 10 thousand devices through new accounts. This trend is expected to continue in 2021, with the sales of COVID-19 products leading up to those of other 60-plus cartridge products the company offers.
