So we ' re starting the lengthy discussions with the FDA to have that available and we ' re going to be expanding our production facility . We have bought the site across the road and we ' ll be building a whole new factory there , over the next few years . The next 12 months is about planning for expanding our current facility , but also building a new one adjacent to our building so that we can meet what will hopefully be great demand in the future .”
