Bernafon, Inc. Announces Plans to Relocate Company to New Jersey

Minneapolis -- Bernafon, Inc. today announced plans to relocate the company to Franklin Township, New Jersey in May. The company will move from its current Minneapolis location to new, modern facilities to achieve business efficiencies that will enhance service to customers and their clients.

"The move will effectively position Bernafon for further expansion in the U.S.," stated John Robert Luna, newly appointed president of Bernafon, Inc.

According to Luna, who brings over 10 years experience in hearing instrument business development, manufacturing and sales leadership to his new position, Bernafon customers will experience no discernable change in day-to-day service and contact with the company. The company anticipates that a number of employees, including sales staff and account managers, will choose to relocate to the new facilities.

"Enhancing the quality of our instruments and service to customers in a challenging economy is a primary goal of the relocation," explained Luna. "The new location will enable Bernafon to take advantage of the newly expanded production facilities at Oticon, Inc., another New Jersey-based William Demant Group company."

A dedicated production line will be established to manufacture Bernafon instruments.

Luna replaces Peter Van Nest who has decided not to relocate with the company. Van Nest, who chose to remain in Minneapolis with his family, will oversee the smooth transition to New Jersey.

The relocation is part of an overall expansion strategy that will enable Bernafon to realize its potential to better serve U.S. hearing care professionals and their clients. The relocation involves only the Bernafon Hearing Division and will not affect the Diagnostic Division.
