Waterland Private Equity-backed ATOS, a provider of orthopedic medicine, agreed to acquire Main Klinik, an orthopedic clinic. Financial terms were not disclosed. With the acquisition, ATOS strengthens its position in the market for elective orthopedic treatments and secures a first foothold in the city of Frankfurt am Main. “The demand for orthopedic surgery is experiencing continuous growth for demographic reasons. In this market environment, ATOS has positioned itself superbly with a service portfolio focused on cutting-edge medicine, with a particular focus on the urban regions. Main Klinik is now the ATOS spearhead in Frankfurt and already operates with a business model very similar to that of ATOS. This generates a great potential for synergies between both the clinics in the metropolitan area as well as for the entire clinic group throughout Germany,” Carsten Rahlfs, Waterland Managing Partner.
