Anatech started life as Imperial Orthoflex Manufacturing Ltd, a manufacturer of high quality custom-made orthopaedic bracing. Our founder, Jim Boyle, had come from the diving world, and had a background in manufacturing custom made wetsuits. An early claim to fame was that Jim’s wetsuits had been used in two James Bond movies, “For Your Eyes Only” and “Octopussy”.
His expertise in this field, using the same materials, was easily transitioned into the growing bracing market, catering to the ageing, but active baby boomer generation. Jim listened carefully to customers and professionals and sought to understand what was needed in a good bracing line.
