"Ray Thomasen is a very experienced and successful sales-and-marketing executive with significant experience in the device market in general and in the UK territory in particular," said Julian Mackenzie, SpineVision's CEO. "We expect Ray to ramp-up quickly and hire at least 10 direct sales representatives or agents in the near term to begin calling on neurosurgeons and spine surgeons throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Ray's group will be looking for opportunities related to distributing other companies' products, if they are complementary. We believe that our PediGuard(TM) product, which has blockbuster potential, will open a lot of doors right off for Ray and his team."
SpineVision sells its motion preservation and fusion products directly in France, the United States, Italy and Belgium, and utilizes highly qualified distributors in 10 other countries, which include Egypt, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Turkey. SpineVision expects to add additional market coverage in 2007 in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Singapore, and in Japan in 2008.
