VibroSense Dynamics AB (VibroSense) has signed a Framework Agreement with Genertec Universal Medical Group (UMCARE), a subsidiary of China General Technology Group (Genertec), which is China's 42nd largest central State Owned Enterprise. The framework agreement concerns the distribution of VibroSense's product VibroSense Meter® II, with the application Diabetes Foot Screening in the Chinese market.
To speed up the process, the parties have divided the negotiations into different parts, where the framework agreement sets the context for future cooperation. This is the first of three agreements to be signed. The remaining two agreements comprise a Registration Agreement to apply for regulatory approval of the VibroSense Meter® II in China and a Distributor Agreement. The latter will give UMCARE a time-limited exclusive right to sell VibroSense Meter® II in China. The plan is to sign the Registration Agreement during 2021 and the Distributor Agreement no later than Q1 2022. “As we prepare for the launch of VibroSense Meter II and the application Diabetes Foot Screening in China, we are taking a very important step into a new international market with a huge potential. We are very happy that UMCARE, which belongs to one of the largest central State Owned Enterprises in Chinese healthcare, has decided to sign a Framework Agreement with VibroSense Dynamics. This shows the great interest in VibroSense Meter II. I’m also convinced that our experience from the launch processes in Sweden and Germany will support UMCARE in their launch in China”, says Hans Wallin, CEO of VibroSense Dynamics.
