The contract has a potential value of USD $50 million over a three-year period, with an extension option.
Production will take place at Kitron’s newly renovated facility in Windber, Pennsylvania, and is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2021.
“We have awarded this important contract to Kitron after a thorough process. Among the deciding factors were Kitron’s broad experience with customers in the medical devices industry and its familiarity with the particular requirements this entails. We’re extremely pleased to enter into this production partnership,” said Ed Kilroy, CEO of MedAvail Technologies.
MedAvail has developed a world leading consumer facing pharmacy automation kiosk, the MedAvail MedCenter.
