Baird Medical Accelerates Global Commercial Roadmap through Strategic Partnership with Stonewood Key Capital

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baird Medical Investment Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:BDMD) ("Baird Medical" or the "Company"), a market leader in minimally invasive Microwave Ablation (MWA) technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Stonewood Key Capital, a wholly-owned comprehensive investment management enterprise from New Zealand. This collaboration positions the Hainan Free Trade Port as a pivotal hub for the Company's cross-border operations and supply chain, enabling more efficient capital allocation to accelerate the commercialization of its advanced medical solutions globally.

Formalized at an official signing ceremony, this agreement reinforces Baird Medical's market leadership and serves as a cornerstone of its growth strategy. By capitalizing on the Free Trade Port's advantageous policies regarding cross-border capital flows and personnel mobility, the Company secures a competitive operational framework designed to meet rising demand for minimally invasive therapies addressing thyroid and other soft tissue applications.

The partnership utilizes the region's integrated "Capital – Base-Service" ecosystem, empowering Baird Medical to deepen its footprint in the broader healthcare sector.

"This partnership represents an extension of our global vision rather than a mere geographic expansion," said Mrs. Haimei Wu, Chairwoman of Baird Medical. "By positioning the Free Trade Port as a critical pivot point connecting supply chain resilience with medical innovation, we are expanding our capabilities to drive clinical excellence worldwide. Our focus remains steadfast on empowering physicians and improving outcomes for patients seeking high-quality, minimally invasive care."
