"Looking just a few years back to when and where it all started, it’s truly amazing what we have accomplished, building up this company from scratch. It has continuously required a lot of dedication, long nights, and sacrifice – and I’m still standing with an even stronger belief in being able to make a difference for the many patients, who need a company like ours.

This is my little child that I have given birth to with my very first own money and capital back in the days, seen it become a teenager and soon to become an adult, something I do not want to miss.

I do this to show my fully commitment and dedication to this project, and because I believe in an even brighter future with some truly amazing milestones in front of us."
