Mérieux Equity Partners, via its buyout fund Mérieux Participations 4 (MP4), has made an investment in Health in Code (HiC) for a significant minority stake. The deal is intended to support and accelerate HiC’s next phase of growth and international expansion.
Mérieux Equity Partners' MP4 fund has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling majority stake in Piercan, with Groupe Siparex and regional investor Normandie Participations investing alongside. The deal is a primary LBO that will support Piercan — a Normandy-based, global manufacturer of isolator and dry-box gloves for the pharmaceutical and nuclear industries — to improve industrial capabilities, pursue international expansion and diversify into new market segments; the founding Lucas family and other historical shareholders reinvest part of their proceeds.
Funds advised by SK Capital Partners acquired a majority shareholding in SEQENS, investing alongside Bpifrance, Nov Santé, Mérieux Equity Partners, Ardian, Eximium and SEQENS' management. The deal includes the integration of Wavelength Pharmaceuticals into SEQENS and the prior divestiture of certain non-core mineral specialties assets; SEQENS emerges as a strengthened pharmaceutical CDMO with ~€1.1bn revenue and ~3,200 employees.
IK Investment Partners’ IK Small Cap II Fund has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Mabtech AB, a Stockholm-based specialist in immune monitoring and developer of monoclonal antibodies, ELISpot/FluoroSpot kits and the IRIS reader. Mérieux Equity Partners takes a minority stake alongside IK, founders and management remain invested, and EQT Credit provided senior secured (unitranche) financing to support the transaction.
