Reorganisation of the shareholder base, facilitating a full exit for retiring shareholders and a partial divestment for the rolling management shareholders. Created an equity pot for senior management.

The business

Cruinn Diagnostics is a distributor of clinical laboratory diagnostic equipment and consumables to hospitals and independent testing laboratories.

The deal

Over the last 20 years, Cruinn Diagnostics has grown to be a leading independent distributor of medical diagnostic consumables and capital equipment to laboratories across Ireland. The company has longstanding relationships with leading blue-chip diagnostic suppliers and sells to a blue-chip customer base. Cruinn was looking for a partner to support its organic expansion plans into new diagnostics areas and through acquisition. MML Ireland invested alongside MD Jack Nolan, Clinical Sales Director, Vinny Foley and Technical Director, Peter Hussey - who all reinvested materially - and created a significant equity pot for the wider management team. The deal completed in January 2022 and MML Ireland is excited to support an ambitious expansion plan.
