Both sales and operating profit rose in the first six months of the year compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

      Still waiting on that new version of the V20 to be more commercially available. TEA makes Invisio hard to obtain. I shouldn’t have to go through a long drawn out procurement process to purchase a limited number of units. Why not sell direct like TCI or Silynx? A web store would increase sales.
