OUDENAARDE, BELGIUM – A pair of private equity investors have acquired all shares of Europlasma for an undisclosed sum.

The maker of plasma equipment will be owned by Gimv, a European investment company, and Yukon, a small private equity company.

Gimv is huge, overseeing around $2.27 billion of investments (including partnerships). Yukon has ties to Europlasma, having been founded by Europlasma managing director Filip Legein.

“After more than 15 years of intensive R&D, we have seen key customers in several industries implementing the technology on an industrial scale. This is the moment to bring the company to the next level, and we are very happy that Gimv has decided to support our ambitious growth. The new funds will be used to finance our growth, to expand our global network, and to intensify our R&D-efforts. Our goals are to remain the market leader in the fast growing markets that we target, and to develop new applications of our technology platform,” Legein said.
