Deutsche Intensivpflege Holding B.V. (DIH) has acquired Linde Remeo Deutschland GmbH, marking one of the largest transactions in the intensive care sector in 2018.
Established in 2002, the Remeo Centers specialize in intensive care with a focus on weaning patients off ventilators. The Remeo portfolio includes six Linde Remeo Centers with 97 beds and an outpatient unit serving 35 patients. Remeo operates at seven locations across Germany with approximately 200 employees. It is part of the healthcare division of the Linde Group, which specializes in gases and process plants, offering medium- and long-term care for respiratory patients with subacute and chronic illnesses.
Founded in 2013, DIH is one of the largest out-of-hospital intensive care groups in Germany, with over 2,500 employees providing care for adults and children in individual settings and more than 60 shared apartments. In November 2016, Ergon Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in DIH and subsequently purchased numerous outpatient care providers in Germany as part of a growth strategy.
Before acquiring Linde Remeo, DIH primarily specialized in nursing services, which now comprise only half of the company's offerings. Nursing homes are increasingly becoming part of the portfolio. DIH will retain the employees at the former Linde REMEO locations. The transaction is subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.
