ATLANTA - (June 1, 2009) - Implantable Provider Group (IPG), an Alpharetta-based provider of implantable device management services, has moved to its new headquarters at Northwinds II. The move marks IPG's fifth office expansion in as many years and is the next step in the company's long-term plans for continued growth.

"The industry is increasingly adopting our model for managing implantable medical devices, presenting IPG with tremendous opportunities for growth," said Jay Ethridge, CEO of IPG. "Doubling our office space gets us ahead of the growth curve and strategically positions us to take full advantage of opportunities in front of us."

The Northwinds development also gives IPG access to additional square footage that will support the company's long-range expansion plans. IPG made a strategic decision to relocate to the Northwinds development because it is the largest commercial development in North Atlanta. Northwinds, owned by Duke Realty Corporation, includes seven buildings with over one million square feet.

As of June 1, IPG's new address is 2520 Northwinds Pkwy., Suite 300, Alpharetta, GA 30009. IPG telephone numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
