LINET wins contract for 715 beds in the US
26th January 2012 Dordrecht (NLD) / Slaný (CZE) – LINET Americas, a subsidiary of LINET Group, will supply 715 of its Eleganza 3 multifunction hospital beds to Resurrection Healthcare, a chain of hospitals in Chicago, in a deal worth 2.5m US dollars. The contract, which the LINET Americas team won after almost an year’s effort, is the company’s biggest yet. In the first year of the three-year contract, 415 beds will be delivered while the rest will be supplied in the course of the following two years.
The U.S. market is known for the dominant position of local manufacturers – one company is even based in Chicago – as well as the highly demanding standard requirements for product. „LINET is in fact the only European manufacturer present in this market and it is extremely difficult to convince the customers with the quality of a product. The current contract clearly shows that our products and services can hold their own in this highly competitive environment,“ says Zbynek Frolik, general director of LINET Group.  
   
The latest success of LINET Americas follows the winning a similar tender for 300 Eleganza 3 beds last June in an exclusive deal with Florida-based Baptist Healthcare. The contract worth over 1m US dollars included the purchase of 25 Multicare – LINET’s high-tech beds for intensive care units.
