Baar, Switzerland
Julie Shimer, president and CEO of Welch Allyn, together with Alfred Schiller, CEO of Schiller AG, today announced that the two medical device manufacturing companies have forged a new distribution and OEM partnership that will leverage both companies' strength and expertise in diagnostic cardiology technology, patient monitoring products, and go-to-market channels.
"We are extremely pleased to renew our close collaboration with Schiller. We share a common vision of the future," said Shimer. "This partnership supports the overall business strategies of both companies and strengthens our mutual abilities to provide frontline caregivers with innovative solutions to patient care problems."
The new alliance will encompass not only distribution of selected Schiller manufactured products by Welch Allyn, but will include provisions for a more collaborative approach toward the gathering of market intelligence, assessing and understanding of clinical needs, as well as designing and developing innovative, cost effective products. In addition to product development, both companies will begin to work synergistically toward the strengthening and enhancing of their relationships with distributor partners, including the recently announced acquisition of Latin America-focused MD International by Welch Allyn.
"We are excited about our renewed partnership with Welch Allyn and the solutions we will look to provide to caregivers worldwide," said Schiller. "We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Welch Allyn. We are optimistic that working together on future product development projects will result in products that offer superior benefits to our customers."
