AniCura gets investment from the Nordic Capital

Nordic Capital Fund VIII, "Nordic Capital", announces its investment in AniCura, the leading Nordic operator of companion animal hospitals and veterinary clinics.

With the support of Nordic Capital, AniCura will be strengthened for the next phase of its development, through continued professionalisation and expansion of the business.

AniCura is currently owned by a large number of staff, the Foundation Djursjukhus i Stor-Stockholm and the Swedish investment firm Fidelio Capital. All parties will remain significant co-owners together with Nordic Capital.

Through Nordic Capital's co-ownership, resources will be made available for, among other things, establishing a new veterinary specialist neurological centre at AniCura Albano Animal Hospital in Danderyd, Sweden.

AniCura was founded on the concept of combining resources to provide better veterinary medical care. Established in 2011, AniCura constitutes the first significant combination of companion animal hospitals and veterinary clinics in the Nordic region.

Today, the company comprises several of the Nordic region's most renowned companion animal hospitals and veterinary clinics, provides veterinary care in 60 locations and caters to half a million patients annually.
