The half-year pre-tax profit of £182,000 reverses last year's loss of £992,000 and coincides with the group's move from Mel-bourne to Minneapolis and the return of founder Eddie McDaid as finance director.
Mr McDaid stood down as chief executive in 2002 but returned as a non-executive three years later. AorTech once employed 200 at Bellshill in Lanarkshire but closed the plant in 2004.
