BEIJING, China, September 11, 2026 — GL Capital, a leading China-focused professional healthcare investment firm, today announced that it has brought Novo Holdings, a leading global healthcare and life sciences investment firm, in as a minority strategic investor in its portfolio company Huizhou ForYou Medical Co., Ltd. ("ForYou Medical"). The transaction marks a major milestone in the GL Capital-led capital structure upgrade and global expansion of ForYou Medical. Novo Holdings will take a minority equity stake, while GL Capital continues as the controlling shareholder, working alongside management to drive long-term value creation.


Headquartered in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, ForYou Medical is a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on advanced wound care technologies and products. Since its founding in 2005, the company has built innovation into its core operating DNA, integrating polymer and biomaterial research, product development, regulatory affairs and large-scale manufacturing into a single, vertically integrated platform. Leveraging its strong R&D capabilities, deep regulatory expertise and proven manufacturing capacity, ForYou Medical supports customers across the full innovation lifecycle — from concept development and product registration to commercial-scale production. Today, its advanced wound care portfolio serves leading healthcare companies across Europe, North America and Asia.


GL Capital became the controlling shareholder of ForYou Medical in 2023. Leveraging its seasoned post-investment team and deep industry expertise, the firm has provided multi-dimensional value-add across strategic planning, domestic and overseas market development, and brand building. Over the past three years, GL Capital has helped ForYou Medical strengthen its R&D and manufacturing foundation, expand its international customer network and adopt global-standard management systems — laying the groundwork for today's introduction of a top-tier global strategic investor.


Advanced wound care is a structurally growing segment, powered by an aging population, rising prevalence of chronic wounds and the broader adoption of advanced therapies. At the same time, more healthcare companies are partnering with specialist manufacturers to accelerate innovation, broaden their product pipelines and improve operational efficiency, fueling sustained demand for high-quality CDMO partners. Against this backdrop, GL Capital's decision to bring in Novo Holdings reflects the latter's global network in life sciences, long-term value investment philosophy and continued confidence in China's healthcare innovation ecosystem.
