Investment rationale
With its offering for the medical sector we view IGS is a uniquely positioned niche market leader. The investment strategy is focussed on further growth by increasing the share of wallet with existing customers and expanding the company’s geographic footprint in the United States. In our partnership with IGS we are actively involved as strategic sparring partner for management and assisting with the growth of the company via our technical knowledge and by opening up our international network.
