21 Partners has sold Almaviva Santé, a network of private clinics in the Marseille region, to a consortium of private equity investors including GIMV and UI Gestion.
Founded in 2007 by 21 Partners and CEO entrepreneur Bruno Marie, Almaviva Santé is composed of seven clinics, all top-rated in the south of France.
The company has leading practices in the fields of orthopaedic and ophthalmic surgery.
21 Partners has supported Almaviva Santé in the structuring of its platform to improve efficiency through the development of a group quality standard policy.
With a staff of over 600 practitioners and 1,000 employees, a capacity of nearly 800 beds and 65 surgical units, Almaviva Santé totals over 100,000 stays and 70,000 surgeries per year. The group generates in excess of EUR100m in revenues.
Gérard Pluvinet, founding managing partner, and Henry Huyghues Despointes, partner at 21 Partners say: “Almaviva Santé, created in 2007 through the acquisition of the Chantecler clinic and built up over the past few years is a prime example of 21’s know-how in driving market consolidation and creating leaders.”
Bruno Marie, CEO of Almaviva Santé, says: “We carefully built this platform putting the medical staff, our most important asset, at the heart of the integration of new clinics. We are very pleased by the course of the partnership with 21 which gave the group the means to grow and to become a reference in the market.”
