Straits Apex Group
We contract manufacture orthopaedic devices and surgical instruments for global multinational companies.
The orthopaedics business contract manufactures surgical grade orthopaedic devices, components and surgical instruments. Orthopaedic components (e.g. screws, plates, implants, intra-medullary nails, pins, external fixators) are used in the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal disorders resulting from trauma, disease, injuries or deformities.
In 2013, Apex Healthcare Berhad Group made its foray into the business of manufacturing orthopaedics devices for the global market through investment for 40% equity in a new joint venture, ABio Orthopaedics Sdn Bhd. Through further acquisitions, the business was restructured under a 40% owned associate company, Straits Apex Group Sdn Bhd (‘SAG’), which owns two operating 100% subsidiaries, ABio Orthopaedics Sdn Bhd and Straits Orthopaedics (Mfg) Sdn Bhd, through a wholly owned intermediate holding company, Straits Apex Sdn Bhd (‘SA’).
In 2023, SAG divested 60% equity in SA to Quadria Capital, to partially realise value in the business and to position the business for future growth. With a 16% effective equity interest in the SA group of companies through SAG, Apex Healthcare Group is able to participate in the future growth of the orthopaedics business together with Quadria Capital.
