Private Equity in action
Rising to the healthcare challenge

Headquarters: France

Date: 2017
In 2017, PSP Investments joined the private markets firm Partners Group in acquiring an important stake in Cerba HealthCare, a leading international network of medical biology laboratories with an outstanding entrepreneurial culture. In March 2021, we agreed to reinvest alongside EQT Private Equity and Cerba management to continue the company’s highly successful global M&A strategy and strong organic growth execution. Since our initial investment, we have also been working with Cerba’s board and management team on ESG best practices related to governance, data management, cyber security and environmental management.
