EQS-News: Hydromer Reports Strategic Investment by JMEDTECH, and Formation of Its New Board of Directors

CONCORD NC - October 6, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Hydromer, Inc. (OTC: HYDI) (the “Company”), a leader in hydrophilic, thromboresistant, and antimicrobial coating technologies for medical devices for over 44 years, founded in 1980, is pleased to announce a strategic investment in its business, made by jMedtech. Alongside this partnership, Hydromer is strengthened by a refreshed Board of Directors. Michael Torti will continue to serve as CEO & Director, working with Chairman Jacqueline Zhang and the Board to provide strong leadership, deep industry expertise, and vision as Hydromer enters its next phase of growth and innovation. We extend our gratitude to Braeden Lichti and George Kovalyov for their leadership and contributions as they now depart the company.
