“Degasa is a strong distributor in the attractive Mexican market, with both the resources and competence required to drive a successful market introduction”, says Christian Kinch, CEO at Bactiguard.

Mexico in the second largest market in Latin America with its 120 million inhabitants, only succeeded by Brazil. Degasa is a family owned company with no less than 10 country-wide sales offices that cover the entire country, and are well established in the healthcare sector since more than 50 years. The company represents several major international brands and are active in all major sectors and sales channels, such as public and private hospitals, home care and pharmacies.

Previously, Bactiguard had a distribution agreement with the Argentinian company Promedon for several markets in Latin America. The contract was terminated in 2017 and Bactiguard signed a new agreement with Biodina for Brazil. The new agreement with Degasa for Mexico is in line with Bactiguard’s expansion plans in a few, significant markets in the region.

Degasa will now initiate the process of being registered as Bactiguard’s distributor with the Mexican authorities, which must be completed before sales can commence. This process is expected to take a couple of months.
