Nord buys two companies, creates Norwegian healthcare group

The two companies will become part of Helsepartner Nord-Norge – a new healthcare group created by the GP – while operating as separate and independent units. The group will have a staff of 300 employees and provide services to 1,300 patients.

Nord Kapitalforvaltning managing partner Bjørn Hesthamar will be appointed chair of Helsepartner Nord-Norge, while Privat Omsorg Nord founder and manager Trude Wester will reinvest in the new group and become CEO. Svein Mjøen, founder of Opptreningssenteret i Finnmark, will sell all his shares and exit the business.

These acquisitions are part of the GP's buy-and-build strategy aimed at creating a pool of Norwegian companies specialising in the healthcare sector, with a focus on personal assistance, care, rehabilitation and corporate health services.

Company
Privat Omsorg Nord is based in Tromsø, while Opptreningssenteret i Finnmark is headquartered in Alta. The companies specialise in providing healthcare services, including rehabilitation, personal assistance and care for the disabled and elderly. The two companies are expected to reach a combined turnover of NOK 130m in 2018, according to local press reports.
