Zürich, 23.02.2024

Effective 1 April 2024, VONHOFF AG has been appointed BVI’s exclusive distributor in Switzerland and Liechtenstein for its entire portfolio of intraocular lenses (formerly PhysIOL), its surgical liquids and gases (formerly Arcad), its consumables portfolio (formerly Beaver, Visitec, Malosa Medical & Vitreq) as well as phaco equipment (formerly Optikon).

 

François-Xavier Lahaye, Sales Director of BVI, comments as follows: “As we keep on building one of the fastest growing company in the ophthalmic business, we are pleased to be able to bring our complete portfolio to the Swiss market through one distributor: VONHOFF. We had the chance to work in the past with most of VONHOFF team members and are convinced they are the right partner for us in the coming years. We logically took advantage of that opportunity to simplify the access of our products to the Swiss community.  

 

Lukas Eigenmann, Chief Executive of VONHOFF, comments as follows: “We are proud to announce that VONHOFF will be the exclusive distributor of BVI’s products. By making its entire portfolio available to the Swiss market through VONHOFF, BVI recognizes our increasing market penetration not only for diagnostic equipment but also more and more for high quality ophthalmo-surgical products. Having BVI as a long-term strategic partner allows us to even better serve our customers with a wide range of products for cataract, retinal, refractive and glaucoma procedures”.

 

The collaboration between BVI and VONHOFF is based on common values: quality, reliability, patient safety and customer satisfaction; we stand for innovative products combined with competence as well as a bespoke, high-quality service.

 

For specific questions to our surgical portfolio please do not hesitate to contact anyone of us. We will work towards a smooth transition and will be in touch with you soon.
