A STRONG PAST AND
EVEN STRONGER FUTURE
LONGYEAR
Able Medical Devices is backed by Longyear, a privately held Michigan-based asset manager with a 145-year track record for growing long term value. In addition to the medical device industry, Longyear operates across a spectrum of markets and asset classes.
As a long term investor and employer, Longyear has, is and will continue to support prosperity in our community where they directly employ about 140 people and hundreds of contractors. The company’s success continues to be driven by its long term investment horizon and solid asset management combined with an opportunistic growth strategy.
As Able looks to the future, Longyear’s ongoing financial stability will continue to provide the foundation for growth, acquisitions, and expansion, and chart a solid path forward.
