PTW and QRM sign exclusive global distribution agreement for tissue-equivalent phantoms

The dosimetry specialist PTW Freiburg GmbH (PTW) announced today it has signed an exclusive global distribution agreement with phantom manufacturer QRM GmbH (QRM).

Effective January 1, 2021, PTW will be the sole distributor for QRM's tissue-equivalent phantoms worldwide, complementing its portfolio of quality assurance solutions in radiation therapy and diagnostic imaging.

After the acquisition of a majority share in QRM GmbH by PTW earlier in 2020 and a close collaboration in the development of PTW's new modular phantom platform Ruby, the two companies have now taken their cooperation to the next level.

"QRM is the leader in manufacturing high-quality tissue-equivalent materials in radiological quality assurance. With their focus on quality and customized designs, QRM will provide us with solutions that are an ideal addition to our product portfolio for worldwide distribution,” stated PTW Managing Director Dr. Tobias Schüle. Johannes Coman, Managing Director of QRM added: “PTW is well known for its outstanding product quality, exceptional service and the strength of its global sales network. Partnering with PTW, with whom we share common values, will give us access to countries and markets, where we do not have a strong market presence today.”

Both companies develop, design and produce exclusively in Germany and have an industry-leading production depth.
