Scranton, Pa.-based Noble Biomaterials Inc., developer of advanced technologies for conductive functions such as power and data transfer, is expanding its European market reach for its hospital garments.
According to Stephan Winnen, managing director for the European market, “We are currently investigating and tapping deeper into the various European markets. Though we have around 80 percent market penetration in hospital garments used in operating rooms and intensive-care units in the Benelux countries, we are still building up stronger brand awareness in other European markets, including Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. We have a multilingual international sales team with expertise in the fields of smart textiles, performance apparel and healthcare.”
