ANTIN INFRASTRUCTURE takes majority stake in EMSERE
Context
Antin Infrastructure Partners, executing through its Mid Cap Fund I, has entered into a definitive agreement with Dutch family office and investment platform Gryphion to acquire 100% of Emsere. The transaction, which represents the eighth investment completed by Antin's dedicated mid-cap vehicle, is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2026. The corporate buyouts' advisory perimeter included Macquarie as financial adviser and Loyens & Loeff as legal adviser to Antin, while Gryphion was backed by Moelis as financial adviser and DLA Piper as legal adviser. The acquisition thesis frames the clinical trial equipment rental space as an institutional healthcare infrastructure play, characterized by favorable long-term macroeconomic trends and high structural barriers to entry. The strategic rationale centers on capitalizing on the rapid growth of innovative clinical research endpoints, which drive outsourcing demands and require highly complex, specialized medical equipment and lifecycle service solutions.
EMSERE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2026, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (14.5x).
