Amplifon and Cochlear Italia announce exclusive partnership

The agreement grants to a selected number of Amplifon centers to become exclusive “Cochlear Certified Business Partners” in Italy. These selected centers, from Merano in the North to Agrigento in the South, located in all Italian regions (see list) offer post sales assistance for all Cochlear™Nucleus® sound processors, besides supplying, applying and providing post sales assistance for Cochlear Baha® sound processors. Moreover, all Cochlear accessories will be available for sale.

According to the press release, the partnership not only confirms Amplifon’s excellence both from a commercial and a technical standpoint, but also ratifies its mission: provide the highest level of service to each single customer, of any age.

“We are excited by this exclusive partnership, which has already been in place on a non-exclusive basis yielding excellent results for both companies in Italy since early 2016. The synergy between us is based on the fact that we both comply with the highest quality standards in our respective fields of specialization. As Amplifon we proved our commitment to offering to Cochlear’s recipients and healthcare partners in Italy the highest standard of service, support and care” said Federico Bardelli, Market Director for Amplifon Italy.

“This exclusive cooperation with Amplifon represents an important step for Cochlear. We are convinced that this decision will allow us, our patients and their families, and Italian healthcare professionals to rely on a strong partner with a wide distribution network and high professional expertise,” added Carlo Martinelli, Managing Director of Cochlear Italia.
