The management team reinvested significantly alongside DENTRESSANGLE. The strategic rationale for this "LBO bis" is to accelerate EDL's European footprint through targeted build-up acquisitions and to enhance its technological lead by further integrating AI into the Xplore suite. This transaction marks a successful exit for Abenex, which had supported the group since 2021, overseeing its expansion into the DACH region and Belgium. |
