Enhanced collaboration with Toshiba strengthens Elekta’s position in Japan


TOKYO, September 1, 2014 – In an agreement signed today in Tokyo, Elekta Japan
will grant Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (TMSC) wider distribution rights
regarding linear accelerator (linac) sales. The agreement builds on a sales and
marketing agreement from 2010 (http://www.elekta.com/press/44337b95-6e69-4e41
-926d-aaa6d6dbf002/elekta-signs-sales-and-marketing-agreement-with-toshiba-in
-japan-.html).
Shuichi Higaki, President and Managing Director, Elekta Japan, says: “The
existing partnership between Elekta and TMSC from 2010 has helped raise Elekta’s
profile in the Japanese market. This new agreement creates significant
opportunities for Elekta to further increase our customer satisfaction and
become the leading supplier of oncology systems and related software solutions
in Japan.”

Since Siemens’s departure from the linac market in 2011, TMSC still has an
installed base of about 200 aging Siemens linear accelerators. The extended
partnership opens up additional sales channels for Elekta’s linacs and software
products and gives Elekta the opportunity to convert existing Siemens LANTIS
Oncology Information Systems that were sold through TMSC.

The agreement also includes the intention to develop the Elekta Support Center,
a centralized customer support center with a single point of contact for all
Elekta linac users in Japan. Elekta will continue to manage marketing and
promotion of all Elekta products and solutions, as well as education and
training and software service support.
