Celltrion Group Chairman Seo Jung-jin will spend the month of August visiting the company's overseas operations to strengthen second-half sales, the biopharmaceutical group said Tuesday.

Seo is scheduled to depart for Paris on Aug. 10 and travel sequentially through European countries before visiting major overseas subsidiaries in the United States, Canada and Japan to review the company's sales and revenue plans for the rest of the year.

The trip is intended to accelerate execution of second-half sales targets rather than serve as a routine visit to overseas units, the company said.

Seo will review market conditions by region, product-level sales, bidding and supply schedules, and plans to expand into new markets, while supporting rapid decision-making on issues raised in the field.
