NORCROSS, Ga., and MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada, Feb. 13—SurgiLance™ is pleased to announce its expansion into Canada with the appointment of Auto Control Medical as its first Canadian medical product distributor for the One-Step Safety Lancet.

Auto Control Medical is a privately owned Canadian company with origins in Quebec and Ontario, operating from coast to coast.

Over the last five years, the company's revenues have grown at the astronomical rate of 847 percent—an achievement which earned Auto Control Medical 71st place among Canada's fastest growing companies, according to a recent Profit Magazine survey. And Auto Control Medical is no newcomer to this list either, having won this distinction for five years running.

Auto Control Medical President Grant Reynolds said, "We have achieved our impressive growth rate by continuously introducing new and innovative products to the discriminating Canadian medical product market. We believe that the SurgiLance One-Step Safety Lancet will do well in our market."

"Even as we expand our distribution network in the United States, we are also keen to enter the Canadian and Central and South American markets," said SurgiLance COO Hugh Cooper. "To support this effort, SurgiLance has already established a marketing and distribution center in Atlanta, Georgia to serve its network of medical product distributors."
