A new product and a stronger presence in the Chinese market helped Ottawa-based Annidis Corporation in 2014, as it posted year-end revenues Tuesday that were 122 per cent higher than the year before.
The eye care equipment manufacturer reported total revenue of $2.4 million in 2014 compared with $1.1 million in 2013.
CEO Gerald Slemko said the company rolled out a new product last June that helped improve its gross margins, and that it continues to garner support from leaders in the eye care profession.
