Biofrontera AG: Biofrontera strengthens its U.S. sales support services

Leverkusen (pta022/09.08.2017/14:30 UTC+2) Biofrontera AG (FSE: B8F), the specialist for the treatment of sun-induced skin cancer, today announced that the Company has recently completed an expansion of its U.S. subsidiary to strengthen its commercial operations and internal sales support services to support increasing momentum for Ameluz® in the U.S. market.

The Company has strategically assumed internal control of several key functions that previously have been assumed by Biofrontera's wholesaler. Taking these operations in-house will allow more timely reactions to customer needs and reduce cost in the long-term. These enhanced capabilities will allow Biofrontera to meet customer needs and keep pace with its rapidly expanding customer base.

Biofrontera will assume full responsibility of all health care provider support, including customer service and financial services to further support the commercialization of Ameluz®, at its Wakefield, MA office by establishing a dedicated team of experienced customer service professionals. Under this new structure, Biofrontera can now offer the highest level of support to dermatologists and patients in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The dedicated customer service team will provide extended hours and support for order entry, reimbursement assistance, invoicing, as well as personal customer support.

"We believe that customer loyalty is paramount to building a sustainable, high growth business," said Randall Wilhoite, COO of Biofrontera, Inc. "Along with a best in class product and an unrivaled sales force, we collectively hope to foster long lasting business relationships with our customers that in turn will provide our high quality treatment for actinic keratosis to more patients in the U.S."

Ameluz®, a topical prescription drug used in combination with the medical device BF-RhodoLED® for photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment for actinic keratosis, a skin cancer precursor affecting about 10% of the entire Caucasian population, was commercially launched in October 2016 in the U.S.
