AURELIUS adds Louwman’s Care Division to portfolio as firm ramps up mid-market activity

AURELIUS Private Equity has agreed to acquire the Care Division of family-owned Dutch company Louwman Group, marking the firm’s fourth transaction this year as it continues to scale its global investment platform.

The business, which generated €149.1m in revenue in FY2024 and employs 715 people, provides mobility aids, home adaptations, and vehicle modifications across five units in the Netherlands. It serves municipalities, care offices, institutions, and private individuals under multi-year tenders and leasing contracts.

AURELIUS is acquiring a nationwide platform with resilient fundamentals and plans to strengthen procurement, optimise the operating model, and broaden the range of services. Its WaterRise operations team will support the carve-out, with a focus on business continuity and IT separation.

“This transaction marks our fourth deal in short order, demonstrating AURELIUS’ global scale,” said Fabian Steger, Managing Director of AURELIUS Funds IV and V. “Louwman Group’s care business is a high-quality platform serving a critical need, which we plan to help turn into a strong standalone organisation that helps people live more independently.”

Gilles van Kooten, Managing Director Benelux at AURELIUS Investment Advisory, said: “Louwman Group’s Care business serves a vital need across the Netherlands, and we see strong potential to support management in driving efficiencies and elevating operational performance, while continuing to deliver high-quality service.”

The acquisition remains subject to works council advice, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. Completion is expected by the end of this year or early next year.

AURELIUS was advised by Livingstone, Van Doorne, and EY.
