Imperial Innovations invests in Stanmore Implants
Imperial Innovations Group has made a £4 million investment in Stanmore Implants, a specialist in the design and manufacture of patient specific implants for complex orthopaedic reconstructions. Following the investment, Innovations will hold a substantial stake in Stanmore Implants, according to a company press release.
The proceeds will be used to expand Stanmore’s U.S. and U.K. sales forces for its current products and to support Stanmore’s development of its new technologies.
John Holden, director of investments at Innovations, is joining Stanmore’s Board as a non-executive director.
“This is an ideal opportunity for us to invest in a more developed business where we know and understand the value creation opportunities,” Susal Searle, Imperial Innovations chief executive officer, stated in the release. “We have worked closely with the Stanmore management team for some time and with our extensive knowledge of their business we are well positioned to support them as they enter the next stage of their development.”
