KENNEWICK, Wash., Oct. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation ("AMIC") (OTCBB:ADMD), a company engaged in the production and distribution of medical isotopes, has engaged Global TechInnovations ("GTI") for assistance in acquiring a Russian company that specializes in the production and sales of stable isotopes and critically needed industrial as well as radioactive isotopes used for medical diagnostic and therapeutic uses. With a broad base of clients worldwide, including key alliances and production capabilities, AMIC anticipates executing definitive documents prior to year-end.
GTI will also assist in identifying and executing on further acquisition opportunities within Russia and the Former Soviet Union (FSU) states. GTI will act as strategic consultants and advisors to AMIC, providing services including participating in meetings and negotiations between AMIC and other target companies, as well as assisting in the post-acquisition support so vital to success.
The initial target company's assets include separation process technologies, analytical work product from multiple production and scientific partners, proprietary contracts, and an existing global sales presence. The company's combination with AMIC is expected to create seamless integration and delivery standards, resulting in increased revenue for AMIC.
James C. Katzaroff, CEO and Chairman of AMIC commented, "When AMIC began searching for assistance in its acquisition process, we turned to the United States Industry Coalition ("USIC") due to its commitment to its members and its global influence. Anticipating the positive conclusion of our targeted acquisition, AMIC will expand its technological capabilities and its global reach. Further, it will change the strategic landscape and assist AMIC in enhancing our competitive position and expand our organizational capabilities."
Artour Baganov, Managing Director of GTI, stated, "We are extremely pleased to be working with AMIC and to assist them in their acquisition efforts. We at GTI look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with AMIC. We believe AMIC will be a substantial force in the medical industry known for its innovation and their commitment to excellence."
The introduction of AMIC and GTI was brokered by a partnership between the United States Industry Coalition – a trade association whose members -including AMIC- are actively engaged in technology commercialization in the service of global security, peace and prosperity; and CRDF Global, a non-profit organization that facilitates international science collaboration.
Baganov further states, "I am not surprised that AMIC is the first deal to come from the partnership between CRDF Global, USIC and GTI as AMIC's CEO James Katzaroff is himself an innovator who is adept at identifying as well as leveraging advantageous international nuclear medical technology opportunities."
