ZURICH (Reuters) – Marco Gadola, chief executive of Straumann, said that the sales forecast of the dental implant manufacturer for 2019 testified to heightened caution with regard to global economic development in the face of risks such as Brexit.
The Swiss company said Tuesday it hoped that sales of organic products would increase by 19% in 2018, down 19%.
"2018 has been an outstanding year, and our forecast for 2019 is consistent with the organic growth of the last four years," Gadola told Reuters in an interview.
"We are a little more cautious about global economic conditions," he added, citing the risks of Brexit and the China-US trade war as possible reasons for the slowdown. .
