The company, with operations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia, has more than 730 employees.
“The medical and nursing community, in particular, have been under a tremendous amount of strain, and this is a company that has been able to service this market well and has been able to help nurses feel good about how they come to work,” Partners Group Co-Chief Executive Officer David Layton said in an interview. “They have very interesting product lines, such as adaptive clothing and anti-microbial laundry solutions that have become increasingly important during Covid.”
Based in Zug, Switzerland, Partners Group focuses on upper-middle-market transactions valued at $500 million to $2.5 billion. It previously was a shareholder of Careismatic’s predecessor, Strategic Partners Inc.
