14 May 2012, Melbourne, Australia : Australian biopharmaceutical company Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC), manufacturer of Travelan®, has entered into an agreement with Singaporean company Ziwell Medical (S) Pte Ltd for the distribution of Travelan in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.

Travelan is clinically-proven with 90% efficacy to prevent the main cause of travellers’ diarrhoea. Travellers’ diarrhoea is endemic in each of these countries which, according to the World Tourism Organization, hosted approximately 34 million travellers in 2010. This is in addition to the local resident population of approximately 33 million people.

Under the agreement, Ziwell Medical is required to attain regulatory approval for the sale of Travelan in its licensed countries and to sell specified minimum volumes. There is also an agreed timetable for the launch and sales of Travelan in the licensed countries.

Ziwell Medical is a pharmaceutical and medical wholesale importer and distributor. Its product portfolio comprises a range of over-the-counter products including for gastro-intestinal health. Travelan fits very well with Ziwell Medical’s existing portfolio and capabilities.

“This news builds on the first south east Asia distribution agreement announced last week. Immuron is determined to capture the full value of our extremely effective Travelan product in Asia and elsewhere. Ziwell Medical has rich experience with specialty products and we have every confidence that it will succeed in building a strong Travelan presence in its licensed countries,” ” said Joe Baini, Immuron’s Chief Executive Officer.
