Anecta has acted as financial and strategic advisor to Ortho-Care in the sale to the industrial group Lifco.

Founded in 1982 by Kelvin Scott and Richard Garford, Ortho-Care has established itself as a leading supplier of orthodontic products within the UK, built upon a customer-centric strategy and proficient order fulfilment. Ortho-Care currently supplies more than 2,000 globally sourced products to a customer base of over 2,500 orthodontic practitioners.
Lifco is a Sweden-based business group listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The group consists of over 200 operating companies in over 30 countries across its core business areas of dental, demolition and tools, and systems solutions. The dental business includes manufacturers and suppliers of consumables, equipment, and technical services to dentists in Europe and the US.

After deciding the time was right to sell our business, we contacted Translink Corporate Finance to act on our behalf to find the right buyer for Ortho-Care. Being part of Translink enabled the team to receive enquiries from potential buyers in numerous countries, with us finally completing the sale to a Swedish business group. Throughout the whole process it was a pleasure to work with Translink. Their levels of communication were faultless with exceptional attention to detail when information gathering or when explaining the various detailed offers received. They were always quick to respond to any questions we had no matter what time of day. From day one we felt we were in ‘safe hands’ with their expertise and trusted knowledge of the business sale process. A massive thank you to the team!
