Young Innovations, Inc.

Young Innovations is a manufacturer and marketer of high quality dental equipment with sales in excess of $100 million. With an outstanding reputation for quality, the company has a broad portfolio of market leading products across a variety of categories. In 1997, the company undertook an initial public offering and since that time has generated impressive and continuous top-to-bottom line growth. Historically, the business has grown through both organic growth of its existing product portfolio as well as acquisitions that allow the business to extend its offerings or launch in adjacent complimentary areas. In 2013, Young Innovations was purchased by Linden Capital, a healthcare and life sciences focused private equity firm based in Chicago, IL. The culture at YI is very unique and collaborative. We view every employee as a manager in some sense, encouraging each person to explore facets of the business beyond their primary functional area. We hold true to our core values, which include strong work-life balance and connection to the community. We are constantly looking for eager and talented candidates, in various fields, who have demonstrated a high level of rigor in their studies and extracurricular experiences. Ideal employees are self-led, entrepreneurial in nature and possess a general desire grow professionally while learning about the healthcare industry. Together, we are working towards a healthier world through improving the quality of oral healthcare.
