Renzenbrink & Partner advises opseo on the acquisition of Hamacher Gesundheitsdienste and other intensive care providers

3 June 2021

opseo Holding B.V. continues its expansion course and has recently acquired Cologne-based Hamacher Gesundheitsdienste.

Since its foundation in 1994, the Hamacher Group has developed from a small outpatient care service provider in the Porz district of Cologne into a specialized out-of-hospital intensive care provider recognized in the greater Cologne area. Since 2017, the group has placed a further focus on the care of people suffering from dementia in outpatient assisted living communities. With three operating companies and a total of more than 150 employees, Hamacher Gesundheitsdienste offers out-of-hospital (intensive) care in patients’ homes and in residential care communities.

In the first half of 2021, opseo had also already acquired the long-established company “Binder Intensivpflege” based in Neukirchen b.Hl.Blut, the care service “IPD – MV” with locations in Stralsund and Greifswald and “Kidi” based in Villingen- Schwenningen as one of the leading intensive care providers in the southwest of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The transactions underpin opseo group’s growth trajectory as one of the largest providers of out-of-hospital intensive care in Germany. With around 4,000 employees, the opseo group provides intensive care for children, adolescents and adults both on an individual basis and in more than 80 care communities, a further 22 outpatient locations and 21 inpatient facilities. In recent years, the group has acquired particular expertise in the field of pediatric intensive care.

Renzenbrink & Partner provided comprehensive legal advice to the opseo group on all transactions. The team consisted of partners Dr Dennis Schlottmann (Corporate/M&A), Marc H. Kotyrba (Tax) and associate Dr Alexander Haunschild (Corporate/M&A).
