Striders Global Investment (SGI), a fully owned subsidiary of Striders Corporation – a Tokyo Stock Exchange Listed Company, has announced a strategic investment in AME Healthcare, a prominent dental healthcare group headquartered in Singapore and a part of ACP Asset Management (ACP).
This investment marks a significant milestone in both companies’ endeavours to revolutionise the dental healthcare industry across Asia via the AME Healthcare chain of dental clinics branded as My Dentist.
