Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA Finalizes Details of Distribution Transition Process in Brazil

Micro-Tech will serve Brazil through its sole distribution partner, First Medical, effective January 1, 2027, as part of a broader regional transition to be completed in 2027.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA — September 9, 2026 — Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micro-Tech (Nanjing) Co., Ltd., a global manufacturer of gastrointestinal endoscopy devices, today announced the final details of its distribution transition process in Brazil. Micro-Tech's distribution partnership with Promedon do Brasil Produtos Médicos Hospitalares Ltda. in Brazil ends December 31, 2026. Until then, First Medical Service Ltda. and Promedon will both continue as authorized distributors in Brazil, as they have throughout this extended transition period, with hospitals and healthcare providers relying on both to supply Micro-Tech products. Effective January 1, 2027, Micro-Tech-branded products will only be distributed in Brazil through First Medical and its authorized local sales partners.

"Completing this transition reflects our unwavering commitment to physicians and patients," said Scott VanderMeer, President of Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA. "Brazil represents our largest Latin American market. Transitioning the Micro-Tech brand to First Medical as our master distributor supports our commitment to world-class products, education, and training, helping hospitals and clinicians deliver the best possible care to patients."

Orlei Barbosa, President of First Medical, echoed that sentiment: "We are excited to take on this new phase of exclusively distributing Micro-Tech products and to supply innovative GI technologies that will positively impact the medical community and benefit thousands of patients across Brazil."

Until December 31, 2026, Promedon will continue to honor its existing tenders and serve existing customers in Brazil under the Micro-Tech brand. First Medical will continue as the principal authorized distributor for Micro-Tech and remains the exclusive distributor for any new tenders and customers during this period.
