Star acquires Synergy Health Managed Services for £50m

The company, which operates under the Linen Management Services brand, will seek to grow by extending its services into new sectors. It will also seek to make operational efficiencies.

The transaction marks Star's second acquisition in the healthcare services space, having previously owned Alloheim Senioren-Residenzen, a German provider of residential care for elderly people. Star sold Alloheim to Carlyle for €180m in August 2013.
