Andera carves out Ingenico's health business
Andera Partners has acquired, alongside managers David Levy and Laurent Maitre, the health activities of listed France-based Ingenico, a payment services and technology provider.
The GP invested via its Cabestan Capital 2 fund, which closed in September 2016 on €165m. The deal represents the 12th transaction for the vehicle and its second carve-out. The division will be rebranded to Olaqin following the deal.
