BLIKK GROUP acquired by EQT PARTNERS

The acquisition of Blikk Group by EQT Infrastructure, occurring simultaneously with the buyout of Meine Radiologie Holding from Triton, is a landmark consolidation in the German healthcare services market. This dual-track transaction was designed specifically to merge the two entities into a unified, market-leading radiology chain, later rebranded as Evidia. The strategic rationale is centered on achieving massive industrial scale in a fragmented and capital-intensive sector. By combining Blikk’s 30 locations with Meine Radiologie’s network, EQT creates a platform capable of servicing millions of patients with standardized high-quality care. For the seller, Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG), the deal marks a successful exit from Fund VII, realizing significant value appreciation above the previous book valuation. The transaction includes a 15% reinvestment from DBAG, signaling continued confidence in the group’s buy-and-build potential. This merger allows the combined entity to optimize physician recruitment, centralize administrative functions, and invest more aggressively in the digital transformation of radiological workflows across Germany.
