Altus Capital Partners Inc., an investment firm focused on the North American manufacturing sector, today announced it has acquired ChoiceSpine, LP, a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of specialized spinal implants, instrumentation, and biologics for the surgical treatment of complex spine disorders. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Knoxville, Tenn. and founded in 2006, ChoiceSpine, LP and Knox Spine, LLC (collectively, the Company) collaborates with physicians to develop new products which incorporate current medical technology with customized patient solutions. ChoiceSpine products include minimally invasive, cervical, thoracolumbar, interbody, lateral, and biologics kits and implants that increase procedural efficiency and efficacy.
“We recognize the need in the medical technology space for proven spinal products that can enhance the quality of life for spinal patients,” said Altus co-founder and senior partner Gregory L. Greenberg. “ChoiceSpine, a global medical device corporation specializing in innovative solutions for both spinal fusion hardware and biologics, demonstrates a track record of proven innovation, strong sales growth, increased distribution and the necessity of their products in the marketplace.”
Management will continue to invest in the expansion of the business. Altus Capital partner Heidi Goldstein added, “We look forward to working with Founders Rick Henson and Marty Altshuler, who continue to invest alongside us in the Company, in further capitalizing on the depth of their design and engineering capabilities, sales growth and momentum.”
“We have built a deep bench of talent that has led the company with an increased focus on product design and engineering which benefit so many patients experiencing spinal injuries,” said Rick Henson. “We look forward to working with Altus in further developing our offerings as well as expanding into new product verticals to continue to grow the company and provide patient solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders,” added Marty Altshuler.
This is Altus’ third acquisition in less than two years and its second in the medical technology space. The firm successfully completed the tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of MGC Diagnostics Corporation, a global medical technology company dedicated to cardiorespiratory health solutions in December 2017, and the acquisition of Max Environmental Technologies Inc., an integrated environmental solutions company, in February 2017.
