Lifeward Launches Direct Sales of AlterG Product Line in Germany
24 September 2024 - 11:00PM
Lifeward Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a
global market leader delivering life-changing solutions to
revolutionize what is possible in rehabilitation, recovery, and the
pursuit of life’s passions in the face of physical limitation or
disability, announced today that it will begin selling the AlterG
family of products through its German sales organization, effective
immediately. The announcement was made at today’s REHACARE 2024
conference in Düsseldorf, Germany, where the new AlterG NEO will be
available for live demonstrations and purchase.
The move adds the AlterG product line to the ReWalk Personal
Exoskeleton in Lifeward’s German sales portfolio. The Company
expects several financial benefits from selling directly, including
greater revenue due to a more focused sales effort and higher
margins with little incremental investment by utilizing its
existing sales and support infrastructure in Germany.
“We believe that there is significant potential to expand
penetration of the German market through a more aggressive selling
and marketing approach. By leveraging Lifeward’s direct sales
organization and infrastructure, we believe we are better
positioned to meet the needs of the market and do so more
efficiently with higher margins,” said Larry Jasinski, Chief
Executive Officer. “By realigning our focus on growing the AlterG
revenues in Germany, we believe we can accelerate our path to
profitability in Germany and globally.”
“Our team in Germany is poised capitalize on our existing
relationships with customers to grow the German market for AlterG,”
said Charles Remsberg, Chief Sales Officer. “With the experience we
gained earlier this year in the US, we are confident that we have
the team and plan in place to maximize our efficiencies and
dedicate our attention to growing the ReWalk and AlterG markets in
Germany.”
AlterG products have been available to customers in Germany
since 2013 through a distribution arrangement with PHYSIOMED GROUP
(formerly proxomed Medizintechnik GmbH). Under this existing
contract, PHYSIOMED GROUP will continue to provide service and
support to its existing base of nearly 500 customers in Germany and
will continue to distribute AlterG units in parallel with the
Lifeward team.
