Through a mix of organic development and a number of acquisitions, AMS now has a wide range of products based on technologies that include alginates, silver alginates, foams, collagens, cyanoacrylate adhesives and sutures.

AMS manufactures wound care products for an extensive list of Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") customers around the world, but the majority of the Group's revenues now come from its own brands - ActivHeal® wound care products in the UK to the NHS, LiquiBand® cyanoacrylate products primarily in the UK, Europe and the USA, and RESORBA® sutures and collagen wound care products primarily in Europe. AMS develops innovative products from its R&D pipeline which it commercialises globally, either directly or through partnerships with its OEM customers.

With 450 employees operating under four distinct business units (Branded Direct, Branded Distributed, OEM and Bulk Materials) that match its multiple products and routes-to-market, AMS's products are manufactured from two sites in the UK, one in the Netherlands, two in Germany and one in the Czech Republic.
