EOS decided to enter the Indonesian market in 2016. Since the products of EOS Lens are classified as medical devices, they needed to be registered at the Indonesian Ministry of Health before the company is able to carry out its importation and distribution activities on the product.

Cekindo delivered consultation services to EOS Lens, providing local knowledge regarding regulations and compliances to register its products, including the framing of a business model and product registration under third-party product license holder. EOS Lens needed to complete several steps during the product registration, including class assignation, evaluation, and verification of their product.
Cekindo provided documentation management and assisted EOS Lens in registering their business at relevant government institutions in a timely manner. We assisted EOS Lens in registering their first products before they would be allowed to enter the Indonesian market. Cekindo helped design EOS Lens’ business model with the product registration in Indonesia under the third party to ensure that they can independently coordinate their business in the country such as making future changes related to the distributors, product license holder, etc.
Since EOS Lens did not have any local partner when it came to the country, Cekindo assisted them by acting as their very own product license holder. This scheme allowed EOS Lens to be more flexible in selecting their distributors and partners, minimizing the risks they have to worry about in entering the new market. Further, Cekindo provided EOS Lens end-to-end assistance to ensure that they complied with local regulation and standard processes.
