Press Release:

Etac Holland BV, which is a 100% daughter of the Swedish Care-concern Etac AB, is a brand new enterprise with its main target to sell Balder electric wheelchairs in the Dutch and Belgian market space. We are housed in a new, modern and fully equipped location in Alkmaar, perfectly accessible close to the A9 Highway.

The Balder Finesse, Balder Liberty and Balder Junior electric wheelchairs have been well known in the rehab-market for their endless possibilities for years. For Etac and its customers only the best is good enough. With the coming launch of the new models E400 ad E800 electric wheelchairs Etac is ready for the future!

Medline has announced the acquisition of Sunchoice to enable it to enter the European market of hospital and institutional supplies distribution – leveraging their well established US know how.

Sunchoice gives them access to nearly 1000 UK nursing homes.

Medline has a relatively robust homecare business in the US and it may be only a question of time before they choose to add this to their European portfolio.
