The three product verticals that the company will focus in India are respiratory, support surface and autoclaves, said Daniel Lee, Apex Medical chief executive.

The company will import its products initially and sell them through local dealers, hospitals and tenders to the government. It expects to grow in India at a compound annual growth rate of 30 percent.

"In the initial phase, we will only be marketing the products in India," Lee said.

Apex Medical India president Puneet Sahai said, " The Company will adopt three routes to sell products in India, through local dealers, hospitals and tenders to government".
