Modulight Corporation, Company Release, Insider Information, 29 November 2022, at 8:32 a.m. Finnish Time
Modulight's target is strong annual growth and a return to strong profitability during the strategy period 2023–2025. Modulight's strategy continues to focus on the company's unique laser technology expertise and expanding its offering to new indications and applications. The strategy is also to take advantage of the state-of-the-art technology production capacity brought about by the investment program.
In its updated go-to-market strategy, Modulight focuses on seeking growth especially in the US market, where the company plans to start local operations. In Europe and Asia, the company's go-to-market strategy is based on selected partnerships. Growth is also strongly sought through SaaS-based business models, such as the pay per treatment model.
Modulight focuses especially on projects where the company can create value for its customers, for example, by bringing their products to market faster, making their operations more efficient in general, and improving the efficacy and accessibility of laser-based solutions. In order to achieve its growth targets, the company will focus on product development pipeline projects with high market potential in the short-term.
One of Modulight's main business goals is to bring at least three projects in the current product development pipeline to the commercial roll out phase as soon as possible. In addition, the company aims to develop its commercial and operational expertise as well as the ESG, governance and reporting capabilities.
Sustainability is at the core of Modulight's operations, as the company's offering is based on promoting human health and well-being. Modulight has defined the material areas of corporate responsibility and created a development program based on them. In terms of environmental responsibility, Modulight has set a goal of carbon-neutral business by 2025.
"I am proud that Modulight has grown profitably over the past decade, and despite the changes in the market situation, we have purposefully continued to invest in our production capacity and to further develop our offering and operations. We have now completed intensive work with the aim of updating our go-to-market strategy to support profitable growth. Based on the work done, we are more convinced than ever that the investments we have made have been in the right direction. We now have a good game plan to achieve strong growth and clear strategic projects to focus on implementing our strategy in our organization," says Seppo Orsila, CEO of Modulight.
