To promote competitive and sustainable growth, Prionics establishes local affiliates in important markets. Prionics USA Inc. - the newest affiliate located in Lincoln, Nebraska - started activities in November 2005.

North America is an important market for farm animal diagnostics. Prionics values the direct contact with its customers. "Before the establishment of Prionics USA, we have achieved this with local sales persons. Now that our product portfolio is extended, we wanted to further strengthen these contacts with an official business to ensure a better supply of our customers with our new products," says Ernst Zollinger, head of Marketing and Sales. For Prionics it is important to be at the pulse of its customers in the USA and Canada, to even better meet their needs and to provide them with Prionics' customized support.

Prionics already has an affiliate in Italy and has recently opend affiliates in Argentina and Germany. [see eSCOPE 2]
