There are two primary makers of silicone breast implants: Allergan, an Orange County CA company and Mentor Corp of Santa Barbara CA.
Interestingly, Allergan only just got into the breast implant market buying Inamed for 3.8 Billion dollars.
Considering the FDA’s re-approval of silicone breast implants the timing couldn’t have been better.
The Orange County Business Journal has an interesting profile of Allergan and its CEO here.
We all know that breast implants are big business, but Allergan’s acquisition of Inamed helped push it into first place in Orange County:
The Inamed deal also helped to cement Allergan as Orange County’s most valuable company on Wall Street, with a recent market value of $18 billion.
Also from the OCBD article:
Wall Street has taken to the Allergan-Inamed combination.
“They’ll be able to cover a greater portion of the face,” said Timothy Chiang, an analyst with Natexis Bleichroeder Inc., a New York investment bank, in published reports.
Allergan is clearly committed to growing its position as a powerhouse in medical beauty products.
