The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine are just three of the countries in the area we call Central and Eastern Europe. Our company is proud of its experience and presence across a sizable swath of this geography, always in the forefront of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. In several regions, politics and economic developments have impacted market trends, preventing them from experiencing the same growth rate as other EU countries. However, the situation is fast changing. New regulations are being enforced in public and private health insurance systems, and are helping most of the countries in the area to quickly catch up. Considerable increases have been reported in the number of prosthetic implants and the demand for service and groundbreaking materials is burgeoning.
It is against this backdrop that Peter Fabok was given the position of Director Central and Eastern Europe on 1 September. Peter has been put in charge of managing the existing Lima Corporate branches in the area, and he will be striving to develop areas where Lima’s presence is still marginal, as well as to break into new areas. The country that represents perhaps the most ambitious challenge of all is Russia: its sheer size and unique market conditions will require the utmost effort.
Peter Fabok’s experience includes spearheading the launch of Lima SK in Slovakia, where he put together a rock solid organisation that is generating a great deal of satisfaction for Lima and the people working in the Slovakian branch.
Patrik Volentier, for years one of Peter’s people in Slovakia, is the new branch manager. We are confident that
Lima Corporate’s ongoing growth will generate many more opportunities like this, enabling our most experienced people to take on exciting new positions.
