CHICAGO--()--Shore Capital Partners (“Shore” or “Shore Capital”) is pleased to announce it has completed a partnership with AA Medical, a provider of sustainable solutions to both the new and resale medical device equipment markets based in Mokena, Illinois, with a second location in Miami, Florida.

AA Medical was founded in 2012 by Ron Plantz to help doctors and surgeons across the world access high quality pre-owned medical equipment at an affordable price. AA Medical partners with equipment manufacturers, banks, and medical facilities to buy pre-owned equipment, unlocking the residual value to help facilities maximize resources to improve patient care and optimize clinical asset purchases.

AA Medical works with physicians in over 100 countries and has grown into one of the largest and most respected aftermarket equipment companies in endoscopy, orthopedics and other specialties. A key factor in its success is the management team’s dedication to their customer and partner experience through strategic investments in technology, sales, and marketing tools. The management team at AA Medical has over 50 years of combined experience in the medical device industry, led by President Mr. Plantz and CEO Matt Nelson.

We are excited to announce our partnership with Shore Capital and utilize their expertise working with businesses of our size, wide network, and extensive resources to expedite our next phase of growth,” said Mr. Plantz. “In conjunction with Shore, Matt and I look forward to continuing to provide excellent service and products to our customers.”

AA Medical has maintained their dedication to excellence in supplying high quality medical equipment to customers across the world,” said Mr. Pierce. “We are well-positioned to build on AA Medical’s reputation as an industry leader through both acquisitions and organic growth.”
