Artimplant Strengthens Marketing Organization in the USA

VÄSTRA FRÖLUNDA, Sweden--()--Jimmy Jones has been employed as President and Head of Marketing at the Artimplant (STO:ARTIB) subsidiary in the USA. Jones has more than 18 years' experience of the US orthopedics market and will bring considerable knowledge and expertise to Artimplant.

As part of the investment to reinforce the US organisation, two persons with long experience from the orthopedics market have been employed and at the same time three people have left the organization.

Administration and marketing support have been brought together at Artimplant's newly opened office in Denver Colorado, which will offer significantly better support to the market and result in greater cost efficiency.

"With the new team in place we are firmly convinced that we will see positive developments on the US market, which is vitally important for Artimplant."
