Bridgepoint has invested in dental services provider Oris Dental.

The firm drew capital from its Bridgepoint Development Capital III vehicle, which closed on £600m and was 29% deployed as of June 2018. Bridgepoint invests €20-100m in businesses with an enterprise value between €30m and €200m.

Indicative bids for the company were due on 1 October 2019, according to Unquote sister publication Mergermarket. Oris was marketed based on a NOK 100m run-rate EBITDA; for 2017 and 2018, the company reported adjusted EBITDA of NOK 21m and NOK 37m respectively.

The investment will go towards organic growth and a buy-and-build strategy.
