Fotona to Become Leading European Supplier of Medical Lasers

Ljubljana, 19 April - COMPANIES/RESTRUCTURING
Signing a contract on supply of fresh capital through government bonds in the value of SIT 700 million (almost 3.5 million euros), the Ljubljana-based laser producer Fotona is successfully concluding the second stage of its restructuring programme. The company left a zero net in the 1999 business year. It plans a 10-percent rise in sales in 2000. The sale of the military programme last year presented only nine percent of the overall sales.
