EQT exits Roeser after seven-year holding period

The company has been sold to private hospital group Sana Kliniken.

EQT invested in Roeser through its EQT Expansion Capital II fund, which launched in 2007. Since the initial investment, it has completed two add-on acquisitions and a relocation to a new central warehouse and headquarters.

The divestment marks the seventh exit for EQT Expansion Capital II, which has a further three companies remaining on its books. The transaction is subject to approval from the relevant antitrust authority.
