LONDON – Rhône, a global private equity firm, has completed the acquisitions of Invacare Holdings S.ar.l. (Invacare Europe and APAC) and Direct Healthcare Group (DHG), combining the two businesses and associated brands to create DHCare.
The combination brings together brands such as Invacare’s Alber, Kuschall, Action, Rea, Aviva and Aquatec, and DHG’s Dyna-Form Mercury Advance, Quattro range, System RoMedic Solutions and the Raizer falls management device.
Its expanded footprint includes a direct presence in 16 countries and more than 50 established export markets – granting greater reach and improving access to high quality solutions for end-users, health professionals, facilities and commercial partners, company officials say.
“This combination opens up new possibilities for innovation and collaboration, and I am confident that the new organization and leadership team led by Graham Ewart, DHCare will be well positioned to ultimately enhance the quality of life for those served by it, and reshape the future of mobility and care,” said Geoff Purtill, former president and CEO of Invacare.
Post-close, the new leadership team and senior management, including Graham Ewart, former CEO of DHG and new CEO of DHCare, will be communicating directly with employees, customers, partners and suppliers on the forward-looking vision of the new company.
