Nordic Capital wins Nordic Deal of the Year for Permobil
Apr 11, 2014
Nordic Capital has received its second award in the space
of a week for its former portfolio company, Permobil. The RealDeals
Private Equity Award for Nordic Deal of the Year - presented in
London on April 10 - follows the Swedish Private Equity &
Venture Capital Association Award, which Nordic Capital received
for Exit of the Year a few days previously.
Once again, Permobil, which was exited in 2013 after a
seven year holding period, was recognised as the most successful
deal last year in the Nordic region. The company was sold to
Investor AB after having nearly doubled its sales and transformed
into a global market leader during Nordic Capital's
ownership.
At the time of the exit, Fredrik Näslund, Partner, NC
Advisory AB, advisor to the Nordic Capital stated "I am proud that
Nordic Capital has been part of the evolution of Permobil. The
strategy of operational improvements by investments in R&D and
expansion into new markets, such as the US, led by an excellent
management team has propelled Permobil into a global
leader".
