Kartesia, a European specialist in financing solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises, is pleased to announce the implementation of unitranche financing to support OMX Groupe in its next phase of growth in Europe.
Founded in 2023 by Thomas Ringeisen and Léo Spector, OMX is a leading French player in the distribution of specialized medical devices and the provision of value-added solutions.
Backed since its inception by Entrepreneur Invest as a minority investor, OMX has played a pioneering role in consolidating the fragmented French market for the distribution of specialized healthcare products. It thus benefits from a significant advantage linked to its pioneering positioning, with nine acquisitions completed to date.
OMX has developed a unique multi-specialist platform covering seven therapeutic areas: imaging and radiotherapy, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, physiotherapy, aesthetic medicine, defibrillation and home care.
The Group combines the sale of high-quality medical equipment from leading global manufacturers with value-added services such as installation, maintenance, training, and regulatory support. OMX has over 20,000 customers, including hospitals, clinics, practitioners, and care facilities for the elderly.
This unitranche financing was granted as part of Kartesia's Senior Opportunities (“KSO”) strategy. The funds will be used to refinance a portion of the Group's debt and to support the continuation of its external growth strategy in France and the rest of Europe.
The Kartesia team responsible for the transaction consisted of Charles-Henri Clappier, Alexis Midol, and Antonin Ramon.
Alexis Midol, Associate Director at Kartesia, stated: “ We are delighted to support OMX in its development. Thanks to its solid expertise in the French medical distribution market, its long-standing partnerships with manufacturers, and its customer-centric approach, OMX has established itself as a trusted partner for market access in highly specialized niche healthcare segments. With Kartesia’s support, the Group is well-positioned to develop its platform and seize new opportunities in a growing and rapidly evolving market. ”
