Capstone Partners Advised Vention Medical on its Acquisition of Ansamed

Vention Medical, a leading U.S. full-service medical device outsourcing company, has acquired Ansamed, Ireland’s premier provider of advanced medical tubing solutions.

Capstone Partners worked jointly with M&A International partner IBI Corporate Finance of Ireland in advising Vention on this cross-border transaction.

Ansamed will establish a strategic presence for Vention in Europe and serve as a base for further international expansion.

Vention Medical is controlled by KRG Capital Partners, L.L.C., a Denver, CO-based private equity firm with a $2 billion investment fund.

Capstone Partners previously represented The MedTech Group, the platform business unit of Vention, in its recapitalization with KRG Capital.

It was a pleasure to work with [Capstone Partners] on a second transaction. Once again they helped us create value, this time in the international arena. [Capstone] leveraged its resources with M&A International to introduce a unique opportunity with Ireland-based ANSAmed. [Capstone] worked jointly with its Irish partner, IBI Corporate Finance, whose local knowledge and experience made a big difference in gaining us early exposure and access to ANSAmed and its management. We are very pleased to add ANSAmed to the Vention platform; they bring us a strategic European presence. Throughout the competitive process, [Capstone] provided key insights in our analysis and strategy, which resulted in a successful outcome for all parties.
