Candesic is delighted to have provided vendor commercial due diligence to Ardentis Cliniques Dentaires on its sale to Medbase Group, which is acquiring a majority stake in the Swiss dental and orthodontic clinic network from British private equity firm Columna Capital.

The Candesic team was led by Senior Partner Marc Kitten, assisted by Senior Advisor in Dental Dr Marco Mazevet.

Ardentis operates 17 modern clinics across Switzerland and employs more than 400 specialised staff. Its management team will retain a significant minority stake in the business.

Marc Kitten said: “In a fully private, resilient market, Ardentis Cliniques Dentaires stands out. It is a high quality network with strong clinical and financial management, and superb clinician governance. We wish them every success in their new home.”

Medbase is Switzerland’s largest outpatient healthcare provider, with a combined network of approximately 60 dental clinics.
