Lifeward Streamlines U.S. Operations in Next Phase of Growth and Operational Efficiencies
November 04 2024 - 7:00AM
Lifeward Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”),
announced plans today to streamline its U.S. operations including
the closing of two U.S. facilities to complete the integration that
has followed the acquisition of AlterG in August 2023. The
consolidation is expected to save the Company approximately $3
million in operating expenses and improve gross margins by
approximately two percentage points when the full impact is
achieved.
Following the consolidation, Lifeward will have reduced its
total headcount by greater than 35% since the closing of the AlterG
acquisition. Key functions located at the affected facilities will
be integrated into the operations of the Marlborough, Massachusetts
facility, and manufacturing of the AlterG Anti-Gravity Systems will
be assumed by Cirtronics Corporation, a nationally recognized
contract manufacturer specializing in the manufacture of precision
medical devices and instrumentation.
“Lifeward continues to undergo a significant and rapid evolution
to a company focused on commercial execution,” said Larry Jasinski,
Chief Executive Officer. “This latest phase of integration will
contribute to a more profitable, resilient company in the coming
years by substantially reducing our operating structure and
improving efficiencies and coordination across the Company.”
