Medtech Consultancy Emergo Opens German Office

Medical device consultancy Emergo Group Inc. has opened a new office in Hamburg, Germany, to meet the needs of a growing European client base. The Hamburg office is the group’s fourth in Europe and will greatly expand the firm’s ability to serve medical device and IVD manufacturers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The firm’s other European offices are located in the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom.

The Hamburg office will offer medical device regulatory, quality assurance and distribution consulting services for accessing the lucrative European, US and Japanese markets. In addition, the company assists medical device manufacturers who want to expand into emerging markets.

“German manufacturers are well established as strong medical device exporters and many of them are looking to expand into emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, India and China,” says Colin Rylett, Managing Director, European Operations. ”In addition to our core European CE marking and US FDA regulatory compliance services, we can help them reach these markets.”

Jens Grothues, a seasoned veteran with 17 years of experience in the medical device industry, will serve as General Manager for Emergo Deutschland GmbH. Grothues has held numerous regulatory and quality assurance roles with respected German device manufacturers and certification bodies including TÜV Nord and MedCert.

In addition to its European locations, Emergo Group maintains offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Russia and the United States.
