Started activities in 8 countries to strengthen our own sales structure
We opened 5 sales offices in Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Belgium (the Benelux region: includes Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in its jurisdiction) and a manufacturing base in Ireland, for a total of 6 locations covering 8 countries.
In the first year, we built a structure of about 50 employees in total at the 6 locations, with a strong focus on local employment. In addition to the sales function, we will add maintenance and academic affairs functions that were not fully provided via our distributors, and provide the same level of detailed service as we do in Japan.
In Europe, we have been conducting sales activities through distributors, mainly through our distributor management office in the Netherlands.
However, in the increasingly competitive medical device industry, we have shifted from sales through distributors to sales by ourselves, based on the judgment that it is essential to respond proactively and flexibly to customers in order to accelerate growth. We have been proceeding with this project with this purpose in mind.
At each location, we aim to expand our business in Europe by building a structure that can provide the same detailed services as we do in Japan. This includes not just sales but also maintenance services and the provision of academic affairs-related information.
ARKRAY Ireland Limited is a core facility for us to realize a stable supply of products in Europe, and is mainly responsible for the manufacturing of test reagents and the distribution of various products.
