SKANEATELES FALLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Welch Allyn, a leading medical diagnostic device company that specializes in helping clinicians improve patient outcomes, today announced it has entered into a strategic product service partnership with TBS Group (listed on AIM Italia), a global clinical engineering service provider headquartered in Trieste, Italy. The Authorized Service Provider (ASP) agreement is designed to provide comprehensive product repair services to Welch Allyn customers in the Gulf region. Welch Allyn also recently signed an ASP agreement with Abdulrehman AlGosaibi G.T.C. to provide an enhanced service experience for customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These agreements further emphasize Welch Allyn’s commitment to its customer base in the Middle East.
“It is our job to make sure that medical devices are available when they are needed to serve patients, and that they are functioning accurately, safely and economically”
“By partnering with TBS Group, we can offer an enhanced cost-effective service solution to our distributors and their customers that will assist them with routine maintenance of our products,” said Wojtek Bulatowicz, director of Service and Solutions at Welch Allyn. “This ASP agreement will enable us to extend the life of our products, reduce total cost of ownership, and deliver an even better user experience for our customers. It is part of the commitment and effort that Welch Allyn has implemented in the Gulf region and beyond to better serve our existing and future customers.”
By deploying TBS Group’s service capabilities in the Gulf region, backed by its own service and logistics operation, Welch Allyn can better meet its customers’ high standards for service quality. This means shorter turnaround times for repairs and easier access to a qualified support team when required by Welch Allyn customers and distributors, resulting in improved availability of medical devices where and when they are needed most.
“It is our job to make sure that medical devices are available when they are needed to serve patients, and that they are functioning accurately, safely and economically,” said Hugh Basiel Marie, UAE country manager at TBS Group. “We are proud that a globally respected healthcare company such as Welch Allyn has selected TBS as their technology support partner. In the end, it will be the patients who most benefit by having continual access to the high quality Welch Allyn technology at a manageable cost. I am confident that in the future we will see many more partnerships like ours, as this is how we will improve healthcare outcomes and efficiency globally.”
