Belluscura enters partnership with Sunset HealthCare

(Sharecast News) - Belluscura announced a partnership with Sunset HealthCare Solutions, a Chicago-based manufacturer and distributor of home medical equipment, on Tuesday. The AIM-traded firm said the collaboration was intended to expand the reach of its oxygen enrichment technology, particularly focusing on the 'X-PLOR' portable oxygen concentrator (POC).

It said Sunset Healthcare had an extensive network, serving more than 1,600 healthcare businesses across the United States and internationally, with a team of sales representatives across 150 countries.

Under the newly-inked agreement, Sunset Healthcare would offer the X-PLOR POC to its customer base, providing access to advanced medical solutions.

In a strategic move anticipated to strengthen the partnership further, Belluscura said it was planning to extend the distribution agreement to include the 'DISCOV-R' POC in the second quarter of this year.

At the same time, Belluscura announced the promotion of Konstantin Grey to the position of vice-president of North American sales.

Since joining the company in July, Belluscura said Grey had demonstrated strong leadership, spearheading the establishment and successful launch of its direct-to-consumer sales force and website.

"We welcome the new partnership with Sunset HealthCare Solutions, which will provide over 1,600 healthcare businesses with access to our innovative products through a trusted, industry leader," said chief executive officer Robert Rauker.

"This agreement significantly expands our distribution network."

At 1343 GMT, shares in Belluscura were flat at 20p.
