PartnerTech signs framework agreement with Dignitana AB (publ)
Contract manufacturer PartnerTech AB and Dignitana AB (publ), a company
focusing
on medical devices in the area of medical cooling, today announced the
signing
of a framework agreement for the development, manufacturing and supply
of
products to Dignitana AB.
Initially, the agreement will focus on the

cooling system which prevents chemotherapy
induced hair loss. The agreement
covers the full scale of PartnerTech’s
competences within electronics,
mechanics, systems integration and enclosures,
and production will initially
cover enclosures delivered from PartnerTech’s
unit in Åtvidaberg, Sweden.
Revenue and the first deliveries from this
agreement are expected in the third
quarter 2012.

Dignitana has during the
last year signed on two major international healthcare
partners, Konica Minolta
MG and Sysmex Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Sysmex
Corporation, and will
substantially increase the level of production to meet the
demand from the
market and their partners.

" We have been working very close with Dignitana
and one of their partners in
the implementation of improvements and preparation
for start-up of production of
the DigniCapTMSystem. Dignitana is an innovative
company, both in terms of
technology and business development, and we are very
pleased that they have
chosen PartnerTech as a key partner for the long term
development and production
of their products,” says PartnerTech President and
CEO Leif Thorwaldsson.

“The next phase of Dignitana starts now, having
established a solid industrial
platform. Since more than a year back we have
been working with the team at
PartnerTech in different projects and, in close
cooperation with and influenced
by our two key Japanese partners, we have
established a long term partnership
with PartnerTech both for production and
development”, says Martin Waleij, CEO
Dignitana.
