"We are now delivering our PPE solutions to the world's largest retailers nationally throughout Europe, with planned expansion into other markets over the course of this year as well. Consumers throughout Europe have grown to trust the Dr. Senst brand and we have now expanded our product offering in 2021 significantly, including the launch of Dr. Senst electronic PPE. While we have made incredible progress with our clients, we still see a long runway of growth within these clients to increase our turnover, add new product lines, and penetrate new markets."

Dr. Senst continued, "We are on track to achieve record revenue and profitability in 2021 and are seeing continued momentum in Q2. Furthermore, our mobile energy division continues to grow, with our large retailer clients being able to remain open during lockdown restrictions being considered essential business. As a result, they have substantially increased orders with us which is clearly reflected in our numbers.  As well, we still anticipate a number of clients that are still suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic to begin coming back online over the course of this year which presents an opportunity to even further exceed our expectations this year. As we look towards the remainder of this year, we are extremely excited about the opportunities ahead of us and are confident that we will deliver the strongest performance in company history."
