“Our goal is to efficiently and effectively serve all customers in the broader European market,” said Mr. Tony Bazarko, Chief Commercial Officer for Specific. “The addition of this UK office and increased commercial UK headcount allows us to achieve that goal.”

Specific Diagnostics today announced the formation of its third European subsidiary, Specific Diagnostics UK Limited. This latest expansion allows Specific to have a commercial footprint in the UK as it begins its commercial operations in France, the U.K., Germany and the Middle East.

“We’re pleased to announce this latest step in our European commercialization,” said Dr. Paul A. Rhodes, Specific’s CEO. “With the positive initial response to our technology, evidenced by high profile evaluations and demo discussions in the UK, forming a local operating subsidiary will allow us to better serve this important market.”

Specific’s launch in Europe began in France, where 7 distinguished evaluation sites are deployed or planned. Evaluations and customer demand is now driving the company to increase commercial headcount and investment in the UK as well.

“Our goal is to efficiently and effectively serve all customers in the broader European market,” said Mr. Tony Bazarko, Chief Commercial Officer for Specific. “The addition of this UK office and increased commercial UK headcount allows us to achieve that goal.”
