Funds managed by Permira have plans to sell Althea Group, an independent provider of technology management services to the European healthcare industry, to a consortium formed by F2i and DWS.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Althea was established in 2014 through the combination of MESA in Switzerland and Asteral in the United Kingdom, followed by the IBSL Group and TBS in Italy, with the goal of creating a major independent medical equipment service provider. Althea currently serves more than 2,700 healthcare facilities across 18 countries.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in third quarter 2022.
