Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American: ZOM) (“Zomedica” or the “Company”), a veterinary health company creating point-of-care diagnostics products for dogs and cats, announced that it intends to expand its direct sales organization while phasing out its distributor-based sales efforts.

Robert Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica, commented: “As TRUFORMA®’s market presence grew, we intended to transition from a distributor-based sales model to a direct sales organization. However, due to anticipated changes at our current distributor that we believe have impacted its ability to market our products effectively, we will be accelerating that transition and the building of a direct sales organization. While this effort may slow initial sales of TRUFORMA®, we have taken this action now to avoid any disruption to our customers and to provide a stronger foundation on which to build the marketing and sales of both TRUFORMA® and any future products developed or acquired by Zomedica.”

Zomedica currently employs eight direct field sales personnel, supported by two regional managers, a Vice President of Sales, and a Chief Commercial Officer. Brük Herbst, Chief Commercial Officer of Zomedica, commented: “During my time as Head of Sales & Marketing at IDEXX, I saw the value and impact of a direct sales organization. A direct sales force will significantly improve our ability to serve our customers and to sell our products in the veterinary market in the longer term. We are fortunate that we have the financial strength at Zomedica to make this transition, and look forward to building a quality sales force to match the excellent quality of TRUFORMA®.”
