Dr. Fred Narbel,   Managing Director of OptiBiotix's prebiotics division , commented:  "We are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Extensor to distribute our GoFigure® range beyond the Polish borders as they have proven to be a very reliable commercial partner and have recently placed additional orders for GoFigure® branded products to replenish their stocks. The signing of a territory extension amendment to the original agreement shows a positive evolution of the relationship and increases the global reach of our trademarks thus contributing to increasing the value of our portfolio of trademarks."
