Bactiguard appoints new distributor in Brazil
Bactiguard signs distribution agreement and enters partnership with Biodina for Brazil.
“Biodina has a very strong track record of successfully introducing new and advanced products on the Brazlian market and we are very happy to have them as our partner. We have not been satisfied with the development of Bactiguard sales in Brazil and we have therefore been searching for a new distributor since early this year. With Biodina we are certain that we have found what we are looking for.”, says Christian Kinch, CEO.
“We are excited about the partnership with Bactiguard. Their innovative technology and products meet a clear need in the Brazilian market, particularly in light of increasing antibiotic resistance”, says Edson Petrillo, General Manager of Biodina.
Brazil is the biggest market in Latin America and one of the most populous countries in the world with a population of over 200 million. Biodina is headquarted in Rio de Janeiro and has an extensive network of sales offices and sub-distributors covering all of Brazil.
The partnership will be kick-started with a joint marketing activity on May 4-5, when Bactiguard together with Biodina will be exhibiting at the Sepsis Forum in Sao Paolo.
