OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH, Germany, has incorporated OCULUS Brasil Comercio Importação Exportação e Serviços de Equipamentos Médicos LTDA as its 10th international subsidiary. Ideally located in São Paulo, OCULUS Brasil will support new and existing customers throughout Brazil.

OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH took ownership of the majority of the capital of ODA Brasil, their exclusive dealer for OCULUS surgical products in Brazil. Enrico J. Nitschke, Managing Partner and CEO of OCULUS Brasil is pleased about the addition of diagnostic devices to the company’s portfolio : “We are building upon the strong heritage of our parent company in Germany by providing ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgeons with innovative, high-quality ophthalmic products ‘Made in Germany´ together with the highest level in customer support.”

In response to market dynamics, OCULUS in Germany has decided that now is the right time to go directly into the Brazilian market. As of now, OCULUS Brasil is planning to resume cooperation with its former distributor Technicall and further expand with sub-distributors such as Alcon.

Rainer Kirchhübel, CEO of OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH, comments: "We are looking forward to continuing our positive partnership with our existing customers in the region through OCULUS Brasil."
