According to the company, Mecan, a European medical device and supplies distributor will be providing logistics and warehouse services for the MedX European distribution center.

Following receipt of the CE Mark approval to market and sell the family of MedX laser and light products in all 25 EU and three European Free Trade Association Member (EFTA) states, MedX can now better serve its EU and EFTA customers.

In addition, MedX announced the appointment of Frank Raymakers as director of European sales, to oversee operations. As director of European sales, Mr Raymakers will build the network of EU distributors in various countries for both the medical and dental markets. In addition, he will be responsible for training and ongoing support for the MedX EU distributor network.

Prior to joining MedX, Mr Raymakers established a record of success in building distribution networks with several medical device companies in Europe. Most recently, he served as director of area and dealer management in North-West Europe for EnviteC/Honeywell.

Steve Guillen, president and CEO of MedX Health, said: “We are very pleased to have been able to establish a distribution center so quickly after receiving the CE Mark. Having Frank on board will help us build a successful medical device distribution network in Europe. MedX’s European launch will be one of the key drivers to our rapidly accelerating revenues in 2009.”
