Company History

ASH was established in the British Virgin Islands by its current Chairman, Mr. Chih-I Lin, in 2002. Prior to the formation of ASH, Mr. Lin ran his self-funded orthopedics company – Central Medical Technologies (CMT), which focused in developing new spinal implant products.  Over the past 10 years CMT has accumulated a rich intellectual property portfolio (with over 120 patents in orthopedics implants) and its products are distributed through the leading distributors including Zimmer (Asia), Acuna & Fombona S.A. (Europe), and Cosmotec (Japan).

In 2001, with the help of 2 venture capital firms (Taiwan´s President Life Science, and Japan's JAFCO), ASH was established and at the same time all CMT´s intellectual properties are inherited into the new company. ASH also established 3 fully owned subsidiaries in Taiwan, Japan and the United States to service its local partners.
