Kowa Optimed sets up subsidiary in the UK

Kowa Optimed is to take over distribution of its optical diagnostic instruments in the UK through a wholly owned subsidiary in readiness for major new product launches over the coming months.

The company has a long relationship with its current distributor, Keeler, and the two are working together on a smooth handover of customer care and support ahead of an official launch of the new business in Berkshire later this year.

Sales and marketing manager Abdul Jahangir said sales and support staff were currently being recruited in sufficient numbers to grow the business and fully support all existing Kowa customers.
