Albumin produced at ZLB into the US market. CSL Bioplasma and ZLB Bioplasma are also working with the ANRC to develop a Haemostatic Dressing that arrests severe bleeding in trauma situations. In July and August 2001, a major upgrade of the manufacturing plant was successfully completed at ZLB's site in Bern. ZLB is well placed to meet current and emerging compliance and quality standards. We will also complete validation of a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant for Rhophylac in 2002. The plasma throughput capacity of the ZLB plant in Bern is progressively being increased to meet demand and will exceed 2 million litres in 2003. Marketing authorisation to expand the range of IVIG product presentations for ZLB's customers has been received from the US Food and Drug Administration FDA ; . ZLB expects to lodge applications with the FDA for US marketing authorisation of a liquid IVIG and Rhophylac later this year. The US market for both these products is significant. ZLB has expanded its presence in the US in response to an increasingly competitive IVIG market. Looking forward, despite short term pricing pressure on IVIG, further growth is anticipated through increased CarimuneTM sales in the US, sales in Europe and elsewhere, and the roll out of Rhophylac internationally. Furthermore, to improve customer contact and sales margins, increased marketing and distribution activities through additional subsidiaries will be established in key European markets and genotropin.
