Frankfurt (Germany), Naarden (Netherlands), 9 March 2021 - Triton Fund V advised by Triton (“Triton”) has signed an agreement to invest in Bergman Clinics (“Bergman Clinics”), one of the leading chains of independent clinics in the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia.

“We are excited to support the management and employees of Bergman Clinics by investing in and supporting the growth and European expansion of the clinics network,” said Peder Prahl, Director of the General Partner for the Triton funds.

Bergman Clinics is a leading specialist for treatments in the field of orthopedics, ophthalmology, gynecology, aesthetic medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and vascular medicine.

The investment by Triton will help Bergman Clinics to further expand its geographical footprint, and creates room to invest in technological innovation, digitization and training. Both clients and employees can benefit directly from this.

“Bergman Clinics is strongly positioned in the field of outpatient care which is an increasingly important part of the healthcare services sector. The company has a strong medical platform and digital backbone to further expand as a focused specialty care player in Europe,” emphasized Anja Bickelmaier, Co-Head of Healthcare at Triton.

“The clinic has a strong brand in the Netherlands and we are looking forward to support its development in core markets where Triton has been investing for more than two decades,” added Koos van de Linde, Investment Advisory Professional at Triton.

“We are pleased to welcome Triton as a new investor and strong partner who will support Bergman Clinics’ ongoing journey towards high-quality client-oriented treatment at affordable prices. We will not only benefit from Triton’s expertise in the healthcare sector and in particular in healthcare services, but also from its international network,” said Hans van der Heijden, CEO of Bergman Clinics.
