Capiton acquires majority stake in SAPV Care GmbH

Capiton, through its current fund capiton VI and together with LP co-investors, has acquired a majority stake in SAPV Care GmbH, a leading provider of specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPC) services in Germany. The partnership with the existing management team aims to accelerate SAPV Care’s regional expansion and further build on its strong growth trajectory.

SAPV Care provides comprehensive palliative medical care for seriously ill patients in their home environment. With an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and therapists, SAPV Care ensures holistic and high-quality medical support focused on preserving quality of life and dignity in the final phase of life.

Founded in Saarland, SAPV Care has in recent years expanded significantly through the opening of new locations across Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. Today, the company employs around 100 dedicated professionals who deliver dedicated, high‑quality care to their patients.

“With SAPV Care, we are investing in a dynamically growing healthcare provider with significant societal importance. In close partnership with the current management team, we aim to further expand the company’s leading position and drive the sustainable development of high-quality end-of-life care,” says Fritjof Franz, Managing Partner at Capiton.

Silvio Lorek, Managing Director of SAPV Care, adds: “The specialized outpatient palliative care sector places high professional and organizational demands. Together with Capiton, we set the base to further develop SAPV Care as an independent provider of high-quality services and to expand our presence in a targeted, regional manner. Key to this are our employees, who deliver this care every day with competence and commitment. Our ambition remains unchanged: the highest quality of care, economic stability, and reliable, compassionate service.”

The investment in SAPV Care underscores Capiton’s long-term investment strategy in its focus sector, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and reflects key societal megatrends such as demographic change and the growing importance of outpatient care.

Capiton was advised by ISP Healthcare (Commercial), KPMG (Financial), NEON (Legal), Hackstein Reuter Rechtsanwälte (Legal Regulatory), EY (Tax), AvS (Management Audit), and PwC (ESG).

The completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.
