MEDICAL DEVICE INNOVATION 2010
In April 2006 SeraCare unveiled plans to consolidate its
facilities and streamline operations (MDD, April 28, 2006).
The company moved its Oceanside operations into its
Milford plant.
“Going forward with the market beginning to
improve, we’re very set on making sure that we’re wellpositioned
to get back into a growth path and take
advantage of growth in the market as that begins to open
up of the next couple of quarters,” Vogt said. She noted
that SeraCare introduced new products in each of the last
three quarters and said the company will “continue to do
that.”
“We’ve also managed to gain a number of new customers,
especially in our services business for clinical trial
support work,” Vogt added. “We’re acquiring new customers
and expanding what we’re doing with existing customers,
that is key to future growth.”
Despite the economic downturn, Vogt says SeraCare
believes there is positive momentum for its business, as
well as some positive momentum in the market.
“A lot of our customers with the tough economy have
been reducing inventories and that drove down the
demand for product . . . we believe that is leveling out now
and becoming more normalized,” she said.
