DSM continues to invest in emerging biomedical companies

21 Feb 2007 - DSM Venturing, the corporate venturing unit of Royal DSM N.V., announced that it has made an equity investment in Harland Medical Systems, Inc., an emerging US company that is marketing technologies and solutions in medical coating applications. This is DSM's third investment in a biomedical company in the last twelve months, broadening DSM's window on developments in this area even further.
 
Leveraging its expertise in the development of advanced coating automation systems and testing instruments for coated devices, Harland Medical Systems has established an integrated coating services division for customers who wish to outsource their medical device coating development and production activities. DSM and Harland Medical Systems will cooperate on customer-driven programs using DSM's proprietary hydrophilic coating technology and Harland's automated coating equipment and coating application services.
