PartnerTech signs framework agreement with Dignitana AB (publ)


Contract manufacturer PartnerTech AB and Dignitana AB (publ), a company focusing
on medical devices in the area of medical cooling, today announced the signing
of a framework agreement for the development, manufacturing and supply of
products to Dignitana AB.
Initially, the agreement will focus on the DigniCapTMSystem, a patented scalp
cooling system which prevents chemotherapy induced hair loss. The agreement
covers the full scale of PartnerTech’s competences within electronics,
mechanics, systems integration and enclosures, and production will initially
cover enclosures delivered from PartnerTech’s unit in Åtvidaberg, Sweden.
Revenue and the first deliveries from this agreement are expected in the third
quarter 2012.

Dignitana has during the last year signed on two major international healthcare
partners, Konica Minolta MG and Sysmex Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Sysmex
Corporation, and will substantially increase the level of production to meet the
demand from the market and their partners.

" We have been working very close with Dignitana and one of their partners in
the implementation of improvements and preparation for start-up of production of
the DigniCapTMSystem. Dignitana is an innovative company, both in terms of
technology and business development, and we are very pleased that they have
chosen PartnerTech as a key partner for the long term development and production
of their products,” says PartnerTech President and CEO Leif Thorwaldsson.

“The next phase of Dignitana starts now, having established a solid industrial
platform. Since more than a year back we have been working with the team at
PartnerTech in different projects and, in close cooperation with and influenced
by our two key Japanese partners, we have established a long term partnership
with PartnerTech both for production and development”, says Martin Waleij, CEO
Dignitana.
