“2016 was a year of building as we committed resources and significant efforts to opening new markets and approaches to our markets which we expect to show positive results from this activity in 2017. We developed new distribution channels for SIAscopy in Ontario and recently added Quebec,” said Robert von der Porten, CEO of MedX. “In addition, we have introduced new distribution initiatives in the Netherlands, Turkey and Australia as well as positioned ourselves for growth in the US and Europe. Furthermore, in late 2016 we upgraded our therapeutic light products and are now seeing strong demand in our new offering. We are confident we have built a business approach that is compelling to our channel partners and this will allow MedX to accelerate market penetration which is our focus for 2017.”
