We help Polytech to focus squarely on further developing the implants for medical use and to highlight its excellent “Made in Germany” seal of quality. The fact that we were able to find a solution to the future of this family-owned company by means of a management buyout is once again evidence of the high esteem in which we are held by German SMEs.
PROFILE
Polytech is a leading player in Europe in the development and production of silicone implants and is the sole German manufacturer of such products. The company specialises in breast implants used in reconstructive surgery after illness and in aesthetic plastic surgery.
The company has grown strongly in recent years. This expansion is based on production (under clean-room conditions) in Germany, which conforms to the highest quality standards, and the company’s innovative capacity. Polytech has developed surface textures for its products that lead to a clear reduction in the rate of complications.
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT
In view of the very positive response to implants “Made in Germany”, Polytech has considerably expanded its sales activities. At the moment, the company generates around 40 per cent of its revenues in Germany and around 30 per cent in other European countries. However, its implants are increasingly being distributed worldwide, currently in over 70 countries. Polytech serves a growth market, driven by a number of factors including rising prosperity and demographic change in industrialised countries.
