Ufenau Capital Partners sells Altano Group to Bridgepoint

Altano Group is the world's leading equine veterinary group. Headquartered in Dülmen, Germany, Altano has united 110 of the world's leading equine clinics and ambulatory practices, creating the largest group in its sector, with a network of almost 1,000 veterinarians across Europe, North America and Oceania, including a number of equine clinics in Denmark, such as Højgård Hestehospital Group A/S.

Ufenau Capital Partners is a leading Swiss mid-market private equity firm with a strong track record of building market leaders in fragmented sectors, particularly in services and healthcare. Bridgepoint is one of Europe's leading private equity firms, managing over €40 billion in assets and having deep expertise in partnering with high-growth businesses across healthcare, services and technology. 
 
Upon completion, the transaction will see Bridgepoint partner with Altano Group to accelerate the group's continued international expansion and further strengthen its market-leading position in equine health. The partnership is expected to unlock significant strategic synergies, including enhanced access to capital, operational best practices and new growth opportunities across existing and new geographies. Ufenau Capital Partners and Altano have been close partners of our team for many years, making this transaction particularly meaningful.
