Although resource management remains a challenge in this market , our presence in the medical device sector has allowed us to somewhat offset the major fluctuations seen in the aviation industry in recent years .”
As our conversation ends , Eoin shares details of the company ’ s future evolution . “ We have several new products launching across a variety of markets over the coming year ,” he reveals . “ This month , our new Breastform model , the Silk Lite Partial , is launching in the US and will shortly launch across international markets . We also have a handful of exciting products at the initial development stage that
we hope to launch by the end of the year .
“ We ’ re also developing a comprehensive strategic plan around ESG , and we ’ ve introduced a number of ‘ quick wins ’ to enhance the sustainability of our operations . We launched our Luna Breastform in 2023 , for instance , which uses a fiber fill material generated from recycled plastic bottles , as well as adopting recyclable packaging for all products .
“ We are looking forward to a period of stability after several acquisitions in recent years , and we will remain agile to react to market changes with relative speed ,” Eoin concludes . “ Above all , we will continue to provide our customers with the high level of quality products and service they have come to expect from Trulife .” ■
