Tecan is also reconfirming the expectation of strongly accelerated sales growth during 2015. Total Group sales are anticipated to increase with a double-digit rate in local currencies. This strong growth will be driven by a continued ramp up of major Partnering Business platforms and further supported by additional product introductions in both divisions.
