"ACL increased its sales and profits significantly in 2020. After an excellent year in 2019 with 28% growth in sales and production, ACL delivered further sales growth and profit in 2020 due to the increased demand for digitization in hospitals with our product lines OR-PC®, OR-MD® and ACL OR-CONSOLE®. The success was achieved despite dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and with cancellation of trade fairs which traditionally are significant marketing opportunities." said owner and CEO of ACL, Thomas Wollesky.
