Castik invests in AllDent
Germany-based Castik Capital has acquired a stake in dental chain AllDent.
The co-founders will retain a significant stake in the business and will continue to manage the chain.
The firm is currently investing from its Epic I SLP fund, which held a final close on €1bn in 2015. The fund will target equity tickets of €100-250m for companies valued between €300m-1bn.
The company plans to continue opening more practices. Castik invested in the company because of its product, strong expansion plan, the growing fragmented dentistry market and the sector's resilience to macroeconomic trends.
