Alexandre Mérieux, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “bioMérieux performed well in the third quarter of 2019. Fast-paced growth continued, driven primarily by a solid increase in reagent sales that reached 8% growth for the first nine months of the year. Given our business outlook and a high basis of comparison in the fourth quarter, organic growth in sales should come in at around 7.0% for the full year and our target margin is confirmed.”
