Kain Lawyers is proud to have advised award-winning Australian MedTech company Planet Innovation Holdings Ltd on its strategic partnership with Meiban Group, including the sale of a 19.9% equity stake to the global manufacturing leader. The alliance creates a comprehensive Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) platform serving the MedTech industry from initial concept through to large-scale production.

The strategic alliance transaction establishes a seamless pathway for MedTech clients, enabling them to leverage Planet Innovation’s innovation, design, and early-stage manufacturing capabilities in Australia and the United States before transitioning to Meiban’s advanced, automated mass-manufacturing operations across Southeast Asia.

Planet Innovation, established in 2009, has built a reputation as a leading MedTech innovator with over 300 professionals specialising in healthcare solutions, advanced engineering, and commercial strategy. Beyond product design and engineering, the company operates flexible manufacturing facilities designed to support early market entry and validation.

The Kain Lawyers team advising Planet Innovation Holdings was led by James Burchnall and Gerry Cawson with assistance from Gemma Kerin.
