Acture Expands Growth with Rivean Capital's Majority Stake Acquisition

Rivean Capital, a prominent European private equity firm, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Acture Group, a leading provider of employee welfare solutions. This transaction cements Acture's ambitions of bolstering its position as a European leader in outsourced services and insurance products. Acture, headquartered in Nijmegen, Netherlands, and founded in 2008, is specialized in managing employee absence and offers a suite of services ranging from absence management and reduction to absence insurance. The investment will support Acture’s strategic growth and international expansion, helping it evolve into a comprehensive employee welfare platform. The acquisition of Acture from IK Partners, accompanied by reinvestment from its co-founder and current CEO Maudie Derks and the management team, exemplifies a growing trend among mid-market private equity firms to acquire and scale companies with potential for cross-border expansion. With IK's support, Acture has undertaken several acquisitions to extend its reach into Germany and roll out new offerings like the Evermood mental health platform. Rivean’s involvement is expected to accelerate Acture’s growth trajectory within Europe. The completion of the transaction remains contingent upon regulatory approval.
