ADDISON, Ill., June 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Arjo (formerly ArjoHuntleigh) announced that it is investing into the long-term care market by carving out a new Long-Term Care division in its North America organization with the addition of sales, service, and customer service representatives. The news comes on the heels of the launch of Arjo as an independent listed company, separate from its former parent company, Getinge Group.

The newly created organization provides many opportunities for Arjo to strengthen its focus on customers, both in the acute and long-term care segments. Though Arjo has been a pioneer in the long-term care market since its founding in 1957, the decision to create a dedicated sales division in North America reinforces Arjo's commitment to remain a leader.

"As an independent Arjo, we will be better positioned to meet the changing needs of our customers, including addressing the trend of a rising number of elderly people and those suffering from age-related illnesses," said Anne Sigouin, North American President at Arjo. The new organization setup allows Arjo to continue winning, also in the acute care space. "The addition of the new sales team within Long-Term Care allows our current sales team to continue to focus on the needs of our acute care customers."

The investment aligns with Arjo's mission to improve the lives of people affected by reduced mobility and age-related health challenges.
