Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated, "Since our third quarter is typically our slowest quarter due to seasonal slowdowns in European purchases during the summer months, we were very pleased to achieve this record level of sales and earnings. While some of this increase may be attributable to the timing of orders, we believe that it may also be an indication of increased sales of our core products, including our recently introduced Lubrajel(R) II XD moisturizing gel. We are continuing to work with our marketing partners to develop new products for the personal care industry, which will enable us to continue to steadily increase our sales and earnings over the coming years."

United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial products.
