With 12 medical academies, over 1,200 public and private hospitals, and 2,500 diagnostic laboratories, Poland’s health care sector has huge growth potential that has already attracted the interest of global business.
Given the sound growth prospects, Horiba ABX in Poland has stepped up its efforts to gain a significant market share in the in vitro diagnostics sector and develop its business.
Originally founded in Kyoto, Japan, in 1953, Horiba specializes in the design and manufacture of precision instruments for measurement and analysis. Since its establishment, medical diagnostics has become one of the company’s four key activities.
In Poland, company president Marek Hendzel has strengthened Horiba ABX’s business by setting up a wider sales and service network, and extensive customer care services that include a hot line.
"Our customers include hospitals, laboratories and clinics that require the latest technology, cost-effective units, as well as on-the-spot services and support. We offer customer care units, hot-line services, technical assistance and application support services," says Hendzel.
"While hematology remains our core business, a fast-growing area that we are focusing on is clinical chemistry. We are also developing our sales and service network throughout Poland to meet our customers’ demands," he also says.
Meanwhile, Deputy Managing Director Agnieszka Luszczewska is confident the company will achieve its objective.
"Our strategic target for 2011 is to be No. 5 in the IVD market and we are confident we can take on the challenges we face in the market," she says.
Competing with such industry giants as Siemens and Roche, Hendzel clearly understands the challenges of the market.
Horiba ABX has already supplied 700 laboratories across Poland and the Horiba Group has allotted more than 10 percent of its global turnover for R&D.
Backed by the superior quality and technology of Horiba ABX’s products, and support from headquarters, Hendzel remains confident that the company’s operations in Poland will continue to grow at a healthy pace.
