We are pleased to announce that on March 31, 2015, funds served by Advantage Partners, LLP (“AP Funds”) completed the acquisition of Hukuba Dental Corporation (“Hukuba” or the “Company”), a developer, manufacturer and distributor of ionic toothbrushes and other dental related products.
Since inception of the business 35 years ago, Hukuba has continued to develop, manufacture and distribute various unique products within the dental industry.
