HSC Technology Group (HSC) has successfully undertaken a placement to raise roughly $3 million.

The company entered a trading halt on Friday but did not disclose how much it intended to raise or what it would use the funds for.

“The strong demand for the placement demonstrates the market’s confidence in HSC, and how we are ideally positioned to take advantage of the growing demand for health technology,” Managing Director Graham Russell commented.

HSC will use the funds to boost its working capital, strengthen its balance sheet, and position it for future growth opportunities.
