The new subsidiary is fully responsible for the marketing, sales and service of RaySearch’s proprietary treatment planning system RayStation® in Germany, Austria and the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. It will serve new as well as existing customers such as DKFZ and WPE in Germany and MedAustron in Austria.

The German subsidiary is led by Mr. Radu Pintea. Mr. Pintea is a trained medical physicist and brings over 20 years' experience from the radiation therapy industry and has held senior sales positions primarily in treatment planning but also in medical equipment and accessories for radiotherapy.

"I am very happy to join RaySearch in this exciting phase. RayStation® is clearly the leading treatment planning system on the market with unique features such as multi-criteria optimization and full support for adaptive therapy and proton therapy. I am off to a flying start and look forward to working with new and existing customers in the region. We will participate as an exhibitor at all the important trade shows in 2014 starting with DEGRO in Düsseldorf," says Radu Pintea, Business Director of RaySearch Germany GmbH.

Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, comments: "We have been active in Germany for almost five years since WPE in Essen became the very first RayStation® customer in 2009. Over the years we have supported the German-speaking market from Stockholm. As we now see an increasing demand from the region it is time to increase our presence and I am very happy to welcome Radu Pintea to RaySearch. With his extensive experience he will be instrumental to expand and support our growing customer base in the region."
