Zomedica Announces Expansion of Exclusive Equine Distribution Agreement with Grovet in Europe

Expansion adds new countries to Grovet’s existing PulseVet distribution coverage and enables launch of the TRUFORMA^® equine platform in Europe

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / October 3, 2024 / Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American:ZOM) (“Zomedica” or the “Company”), a veterinary health company offering point-of-care diagnostics and therapeutic products for equine and companion animals, today announced the expansion of its distribution partnership in Europe with Grovet, a leading equine-focused veterinary distributor.

The terms of the updated agreement offer Grovet equine distribution rights for Zomedica’s equine PulseVet^® and TRUFORMA product platforms throughout most of Europe. Grovet will exclusively distribute these equine products in 27 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, and will distribute these products on anon-exclusive basis in Italy and the UK.

In addition to expanding the distribution of PulseVet products to equine veterinarians into additional European countries, this agreement also expands their product offerings to include the TRUFORMA platform as well as the Company’s current equine assays for eACTH and Cortisol, and equine Insulin when it launches later this year.

“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Grovet for all of Zomedica’ s equine products in Europe,” stated Kevin Klass, Zomedica’s Senior Vice President of Sales. “Grovet has been a terrific partner since inception. Having them lead the way for us in equine by introducing the TRUFORMA equine product line to the market in 29 countries is a natural recipe for success,” continued Klass.

“Working with Zomedica and selling the PulseVet device has been a great experience for us,” stated Koen Schmitz-Managing Director of Grovet. “We only partner with companies whose products are rooted in scientific studies, and all of Zomedica’s products we are carrying are exactly just that, rooted in science and steeped in research,” continued Schmitz.

“Grovet has been a great partner to Zomedica for the equine PulseVet product line over the last several years, and they were the perfect partner to help expand the reach of our TRUFORMA equine platform within Europe,” stated Brandon Marino, Senior Director of Global Channels for Zomedica.

“PPID, or Cushing’s disease, is one of the most common endocrine disorders in horses and ponies. Left undiagnosed and untreated, quality of life for these animals will rapidly decline and their life expectancy will shorten. The TRUFORMA eACTH assay for equine plasma offers equine veterinarians the ability to diagnose and screen for PPID as well as monitor patients during treatment, in minutes in their own labs or stall-side. The equine Cortisol assay provides critical data to veterinarians treating foals, and the upcoming equine insulin assay will be of benefit for assessing insulin issues commonly faced by horses. The compact, easy to use, and durable TRUFORMA device offers reference lab accuracy with point of care convenience, making it a great fit for the unique challenges that face equine practitioners,” concluded Marino.
