The AMS Group of companies specialise in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of novel, high performance advanced wound care products, surgical dressings and medical grade materials as well as medical adhesives and sutures for closing and sealing tissue.
AMS Group plc was founded in 1991 in Winsford, Cheshire, U.K. It was originally set up to offer R&D, manufacturing and Sales & Marketing capabilities providing advanced wound care products for major healthcare companies. In 2002 the Group acquired MedLogic Global Ltd (now known as Advanced Medical Solutions (Plymouth) Limited) based in Plymouth, Devon. This provided the Group with technology in cyanoacrylate based medical adhesives and a direct U.K. sales force.
In October 2009, following a successful joint venture with Recticel, the Group acquired the Netherlands based hydrophilic polyurethane manufacturer Corpura B.V. (now known as Advanced Medical Solutions B.V.).
In 2011 the Group further expanded acquiring RESORBA Wundversorgung GmbH & Co KG (now known as RESORBA Medical GmbH), a long established wound care and wound closure business, providing suture and collagen technologies, headquartered in Germany with direct sales in Germany, the Czech Republic and Russia.
