Chairman, Dr Don Evans, said the first half of 2012 hd seen significant progress by AMS, with its product LiquiBand continuing to increase its market share in the US.

Evans also noted a strong performance by its wound dressing ActivHeal in the UK and an excellent initial contribution from the firm's recent acquisition of German firm Resorba.
