Kartesia supports Rigeto in the Buy & Build expansion of Matignon Group

Kartesia, the European specialist provider of capital solutions for small and mid-sized companies, is pleased to announce it has provided a financing package for Matignon Group (“Matignon” or the “Group”) to support the buy-and-build strategy of German entrepreneurial investor group Rigeto.

Since 2019, the Matignon Group has consistently pursued both organic and inorganic growth. Starting with five locations, the Group now operates 25 clinics across Switzerland and is widely recognised for its medical expertise and quality in both minimally invasive and invasive aesthetic treatments. Matignon offers a comprehensive range of solutions with a holistic approach to aesthetic medicine. The recent integration of the Meon Group supports further geographic expansion and reinforces Matignon’s leading position in the market.

This transaction marks the third joint deal between Rigeto and Kartesia, following prior financings for inopla, a German unified communication solutions provider, and SI.TEQ, a leading German property damage restoration services business. Kartesia was able to leverage its strong relationship with Rigeto to deliver a bespoke CHF-denominated financing solution while navigating the complexities of a cross-border transaction.

The capital was deployed from the Kartesia Senior Opportunities (KSO) strategy and is the third deal of the Munich team this year, highlighting Kartesia’s strong momentum in the DACH region. Matignon further represents Kartesia’s third deal in Switzerland. The deal team at Kartesia included Sebastian Afflerbach, Nico Wellm and Marvin Knopp.

Nico Wellm, Investment Manager at Kartesia, commented: “We are delighted to partner once again with Rigeto and to further solidify our trustful relationship. Rigeto is a well-experienced investor in the European medical technology and healthcare sector. With the added expertise of the Rigeto team, Matignon is poised for even greater success. We eagerly anticipate the continued growth of the business as it strengthens its market position and explores new opportunities.”

Dr. Richard Lenz, Managing Partner at Rigeto, added: “We greatly value our partnership with Kartesia. Their ability to structure tailored, cross-border financing solutions is a key success factor in the execution of our Buy & Build strategy. In the case of Matignon, as with our previous partnerships, they demonstrated a profound understanding of the business model which enabled them to deliver a financing structure precisely aligned with our ambitions and capital requirements., helping us move forward with confidence.”
