www. baltimoreinnovations. com production lines are custom-made, and were established by our in-house engineering teams, but we recognize that it’ s time to drive further efficiency by upgrading our processes,” Gavin suggests.“ We’ re working with several external partners to better understand how we can enhance our facilities, with an initial focus on our German sites where we manufacture our point-of-care diagnostics products.
“ We want to be the number one provider of analysis and diagnostic tools, so we need to invest in the necessary infrastructure to not only increase our capacity but also enhance our efficiency and production process while maintaining the high-quality levels our customers are used to. We’ ve also invested in our commercial teams to support this growth strategy and maintain our focus on operational excellence.”
As our conversation draws to an end, Gavin reflects on his first few months as the company’ s new CEO and shares his vision for the future.“ Although I’ ve had the privilege of working at EKF for around 12 years in a number of different roles, I’ m honored to have just completed my first quarter as CEO,” he reflects.“ I’ ve presented lots of new ideas to the board and it’ s been a challenging few months, but super exciting and I’ m thoroughly enjoying my new role. There’ s a lot of positivity across the team and I’ m enjoying taking this fantastic company in new directions.
“ We’ ve got very clear targets over the next five years, spanning revenue, profitability, and new technologies,” Gavin concludes.“ With our profit margin currently around 50 percent, we’ re looking to implement new technologies to drive further efficiency and profitability. I’ d like to see EKF as the leading POCT provider for analyzers, so we’ re consistently building a brand in the market and ensuring our teams are aligned with these objectives.” ■
