Frontier Medical Group announces new Canadian distribution deal
Frontier Medical Group, the specialist medical device manufacturer based in Wales, has announced a major new distribution contract with Joerns Healthcare in Canada.
Under the new deal, Frontier will distribute its Repose® range of Pressure Injury Prevention products through Joerns Healthcare in Canada. Joerns Healthcare is one of North America’s leading providers of acute and post-acute health care products and services and has significant experience and expertise in the Pressure Injury Prevention market.
The agreement is significant as it marks Frontier’s first step into the North American market on the back of the success it has experienced in the UK and Europe.
Simon Jackson, Managing Director at Frontier Medical Group said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us as a business, and we’re proud to be partnering with such a well-known and respected partner as Joerns Healthcare Canada. Our Repose® range of products complements their existing range of products and services and together we’ll be able to provide patients across Canada with an enhanced range of products used in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.
It’s also a really exciting time for us as Canada is new ground for the company, we’re expecting to build on this new agreement with further contracts across the Americas, Europe and the Middle East in the coming months.
We’ve already seen there is a huge demand for our products in a number of international markets and our focus on exports will drive incremental growth in our business.”
Paul Froggatt, General Manager at Joerns Healthcare Canada Inc. stated: “We are very excited to partner with Frontier Medical and be involved with the Repose® product line. We feel there is a significant opportunity for Repose® in the Canadian market and it fits well within our product portfolio. Initial response from key clinicians and key customers has been very encouraging.”
