Dr. Suwelack Skin & Health Care: New Product in the FDA Certification Process

October 10, 2007

-- "We Want to Double our Sales Within Three
Years"


    BILLERBECK, Germany, Oct. 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    With an increase in sales of EUR 3.4 million to EUR 17
million, Dr. Suwelack Skin & Health Care AG is still on
the path of significant growth in 2007. "We want to
increase our sales to EUR 30 million within three
years," states CEO Nikolaus Uleer. With the
construction of the largest pharmaceutical-standard
production plant in the world, the biotech manufacturer has
considerably expanded its activities.

    The German biotech manufacturer earns 80 percent of its
sales abroad, with the most significant growth in the USA --
within one year, its Puracol dressing for chronic wounds has
successfully competed against similar products. A second
wound dressing is currently undergoing the FDA
certification process. 

    Uleer regards the progress made with the European
introduction of the collagen and elastic based biomatrix
Matriderm as at least equal in significance to the
successes on the US market. Surgeons implant Matriderm as a
dermis replacement for the treatment of deep burn wounds.
Says Uleer: "With an equity to assets ratio of 70
percent, the company is well-prepared for the international
introduction of other medical products."

    However: About 80 percent of international sales are in
the cosmetics sector. International cosmetics companies
implement their facial mask systems, and the major
consumers are in Japan, Hong Kong and Germany. Regarding
the objectives, Uleer explains: "Our product expertise
has not yet been generally recognized, but we are seriously
working on this. We intend to gain synergies from the
latest scientific research in the medical and cosmetics
fields and use these for product development."
