Quadriga Capital has sold its majority stake in German care and retirement home operator Dorea Familie to French industrial holding Group Maisons de Famille.
The GP made the divestment from Quadriga Capital Private Equity Fund IV, a €529.1m buyout fund that held a final close in February 2013.
Axel Hoelzer, CEO of Dorea, will continue to lead the management team and remain a minority shareholder.
Quadriga supported 23 bolt-on acquisitions for the company during the holding period, leading to the creation of a group that operates 58 care facilities, with 5,500 beds, 4,100 employees and projected 2018 sales of €200m.
Maisons de Famille is backed by Creadev, the strategic and long-term investment arm of the Mulliez family. Maisons de Famille operates 84 care facilities in France, Italy and Spain, with a total of 10,950 beds.
