Tissue Regenix announces new collaboration with a leading global healthcare company and further distribution agreements
Deals underscore demand for Company's product portfolio
Leeds, 11 May 2020 - Tissue Regenix Group (AIM:TRX) ("Tissue Regenix" or the "Group" or "Company"), a leading regenerative medicine company, is pleased to announce that it has entered a new strategic collaboration for white label manufacturing with a leading top 10 global healthcare company bringing to market a newly developed product line.
The manufacturing agreement follows collaboration between the R&D teams of both companies to develop a new product using one of the Group's proprietary technology platforms to address orthopaedic soft tissue repairs. Processing for the product has begun, and initial orders have been received. Over the next two years, it is expected that the product will make a material contribution to the Group's top line revenue growth. This new product line is complimentary to the other soft tissue products processed at the San Antonio facility, and due to operational efficiencies implemented, it is not expected that there will be any impact on the current processing levels of other product lines.
In addition, during Q1 2020, the Group signed further distribution agreements with a number of selected partners to expand the market penetration of its AmnioWorks®, Matrix OI®, and DentalFix® brands in areas such as ocular, spinal, and dental, where there is increasing demand for the differentiated product lines. To minimise capacity constraints at the San Antonio facility, the recent distribution agreements target products and therapeutic areas which are complementary to current processing activities and diversify the Group's sales portfolio.
Gareth Jones, Interim CEO, Tissue Regenix Group plc, commented:
"I am delighted to confirm the launch of our first product from our latest strategic collaboration with a leading healthcare company. This exciting opportunity will allow Tissue Regenix to drive its commercial strategy forward and ensure the continued growth of the business with minimal impact to our existing strategic partners and customer base. Securing these important partnerships and distribution agreements underscore the differentiation of, and increasing market demand for, our products; providing further validation of the exciting growth potential for the business once we have completed the planned expansion of our processing capacity."
