Report this content

Adelis Equity Partners Fund I (”Adelis”), together with the company’s founders and management, have entered into a binding agreement to divest Med Group Holding Oy (”Med Group”) to a consortium consisting of Colosseum Dental Group, Europe’s leading dentistry chain, and the Tradeka co-operative which serves roughly 230 thousand Finnish members.

Adelis acquired a majority in Med Group, which caters to the public sector as well as individual customers across Finland, in 2014. During Adelis ownership period the turnover of the company has more than doubled to €100 million and the number of employees has increased from approximately 800 to 3,000. Today, Med Group is leading not only in ambulance services but also in dentistry and home services to the disabled and elderly.

Rasmus Molander, Partner at Adelis and Chairman of Med Group, says: “We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Med Group to contribute to solving the challenges facing the care and healthcare sectors in Finland. Together with management we have developed a leading player, in terms of quality and size, in the niches we have chosen to focus on. We are happy that also the new owners are committed to supporting Med Group’s management team in pursuing a growth strategy based on trust and quality of care”.

Med Group’s CEO Kari Virta says: “Adelis has been a great partner in supporting our growth. Through investments in people, technology and add-ons their ownership approach has provided a solid foundation for growth. Through the creativity and hard work of our employees we have been able to build leading positions in home services and dentistry in addition to ambulance services. These positions also provide a solid platform for future growth”.

Adelis was advised by Carnegie, Borenius and KPMG.

The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
