H.I.G. Capital Portfolio Company Avanta Salud to Acquire Vitaly Group

H.I.G. Capital announced in a press release that its portfolio company Avanta Salud has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Vitaly Group, a leading occupational health and safety provider in Iberia.

The transaction will combine two complementary businesses that offer technical prevention, occupational medicine, training, and elective health services to small and medium sized enterprises across Spain. The merged group will serve more than 240,000 clients and approximately 4 million protected workers through 505 centers and about 5,500 employees.

Vitaly's co founders and co CEOs, Jesús Nieto and Andrés López, will reinvest alongside H.I.G., Avanta's founder Josep Pla, and minority investor MCH Private Equity. The combined platform aims to accelerate international expansion and leverage Vitaly's AI systems, which are integrated across back office workflows, occupational health surveillance, and digital health services.

Avanta provides legally required occupational health services and elective employee health programs in Spain, while Vitaly, created in 2022 through the merger of Grupo Preving and Cualtis, serves about 140,000 clients and 2.5 million workers through a network of 387 centers and 147 mobile units.
