Inflexion joins Tierarzt Plus Partner

Frank­furt a. Main — Infle­xion, a leading Euro­pean mid-market private equity firm, is plea­sed to announce that it has part­ne­red with the foun­ders of Tier­arzt Plus Part­ner (“TPP”), Germany’s largest group of vete­ri­nary prac­ti­ces, to support the company’s contin­ued growth and expan­sion. The invest­ment is being made by Inflexion’s Buyout Fund VI. TPP was foun­ded in 2018 and has almost 100 vete­ri­nary prac­ti­ces throug­hout Germany with around 1,700 employees. The company works with local vete­ri­na­ri­ans to provide leading animal health services, prima­rily for small animals, and supports them with compre­hen­sive trai­ning, indus­try best prac­ti­ces and signi­fi­cant invest­ment in tech­no­logy. The market for vete­ri­nary services in Germany remains frag­men­ted and offers considera­ble poten­tial for further conso­li­da­tion and growth. Infle­xion plans to leverage its exten­sive indus­try expe­ri­ence to work with TPP’s foun­ding manage­ment and share­hol­ders to acce­le­rate the company’s growth. In parti­cu­lar, Infle­xion will support further invest­ments in the digi­ta­liza­tion of the company, in trai­ning and in the expan­sion of the vete­ri­nary prac­tice network in Germany, both through acqui­si­ti­ons and by opening new green­field sites. “As the largest and most successful vete­ri­nary network in Germany, TPP offers an excel­lent plat­form for future growth and deve­lo­p­ment. We look forward to combi­ning our exten­sive expe­ri­ence in this sector with the exper­tise of TPP’s foun­ders and an outstan­ding manage­ment team to further grow the busi­ness,” explains Martin Preuss (photo © Infle­xion), since March 2024 Part­ner and Head of DACH at Infle­xion. Fabian Kröll, Co-Foun­­der and CEO, TPP, said: “We look forward to working with Infle­xion to conti­nue inves­t­ing in the growth of our busi­ness and the deve­lo­p­ment of our network. Our foun­ding and leader­ship team will remain on board and we will stay true to our mission of crea­ting the best expe­ri­ence for animals and people every day.” About Infle­xion Infle­xion is a leading Euro­pean mid-market private equity firm that invests in high-growth, entre­pre­neu­rial compa­nies with ambi­tious manage­ment teams, typi­cally valued between €50m and €1bn, and works in part­ner­ship with these compa­nies to acce­le­rate growth.
