Baxa Corporation Announces Its UK Subsidiary, Baxa Ltd, To Expand Into New Facilities, More Than Doubling In Size And Paving The Way For Rapid European Expansion

ASCOT, England, April 4 /PRNewswire/ -- International healthcare-product manufacturer, Baxa Ltd, UK subsidiary of Denver-based Baxa Corporation, announces the relocation of its sales and marketing operations to Bracknell, Berkshire, as of the end of April. The new 10,000-square foot facility includes state-of-the-art demonstration rooms and enhanced training facilities for employees and customers. The company’s sales, marketing, customer services, operations, finance, HR and quality departments will relocate to the new premises. Existing 5,000-square foot warehouse facilities in Ascot will continue to house the company’s logistics and distribution activities.

With sales revenue tripling since 2000, the move is a result of continued sales expansion in the UK and across Europe. This growth is largely due to continued product and service innovation, strategic partnerships and the formation of new sales distribution channels across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“Baxa Ltd has consistently surpassed its sales targets and, as a result, has seen significant growth,” comments Terry Aston, Managing Director of Baxa Ltd. “Our staff numbers have doubled since 2002 and the existing premises do not have the capacity for further growth. The larger premises reflect our status within the healthcare market and offer the foundation and flexibility to support continued expansion.”
