WILSONVILLE, Ore., Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — SAM Medical Products, Wilsonville, Oregon, has sold a minority stake in the company to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The cash investment will allow SAM Medical to accelerate new product development, and to expand their marketing and sales capabilities over the next five years.
SAM Medical Products President, Adrian Polliack , says of the opportunity “The Grand Ronde Tribal Council and Economic Development unit are very business savvy and the fact they are routinely presented with numerous opportunities to invest their monies, but make very few investments, is a huge testament to SAM Medical. They value our current business and the integrity and brand SAM Medical has in our industry, along with the quality of management and personnel we have on board.”
Grand Ronde Tribal Director of Economic Development Titu Asghar said the investment in SAM Medical Products is part of the Tribe’s continuing efforts to diversify its economic portfolio beyond gaming (Spirit Mountain Casino) and timber harvesting from its more than 10,000-acre Reservation southwest of Portland. Asghar added that this action continues the Tribe’s practice of investing in Oregon and in its ceded lands. It also honors the Tribal philosophy of planning seven generations forward for its Tribal members.
