By strengthening our presence on site, we aim to gain new customers and continue to develop our market share in France," says Thierry Dodier, CEO of Ziehm Imaging France.

Innovative strength leads to success

Today, Ziehm Imaging - the innovation leader in the mobile C-arms market segment - already generates over 60 percent of its turnover through exports. The European market in particular plays a central role for the company based in Nuremberg. "In Germany we have been the market leader for mobile C-arms for some time now.

We would like to match this growth with our French office," says Martin Törnvik, Vice President Sales and Marketing at Ziehm Imaging.
