We advised Aurevia Oy, a portfolio company of French private equity sponsor Mérieux Equity Partners, in a strategic reorganisation that involved splitting Aurevia and its parent companies into two independent groups of companies and reorganisation of its existing debt-financing arrangements. Following the reorganisation, the newly formed Aurevia continues as a leading provider of Contract Research Organization (CRO) and Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs (QARA) services, while the newly formed Labquality focuses on delivering External Quality Assessment (EQA) services. Aurevia serves operators in the medical devices, in vitro diagnostics and pharmaceutical sectors. Labquality’s customers include clinical laboratories and social and healthcare organisations. The reorganisation positions Aurevia and Labquality to allocate investments more effectively, accelerate growth within their respective customer segments, and respond to evolving market and client needs. The transaction was implemented through multiple parallel demergers and required comprehensive legal and tax structuring across several jurisdictions. Our team supported Aurevia throughout the planning and implementation phases, covering corporate, tax, employment law, and regulatory matters, as well as the optimisation of each group’s financing structure.

We advised CapMan Infra’s portfolio company Koiviston Auto Group, Finland’s largest bus operator, in a finance arrangement in which it completed an approximately EUR 300 million refinancing. The transaction consists of the refinancing of the Group’s existing senior debt and secures long-term growth financing to support the Group’s continued investments in its rapidly expanding electric bus fleet. The financing package has been provided by a group of lenders consisting of Nord/LB, ABN AMRO, Edmond de Rothschild, LBP AM and Siemens. The transaction strengthens Koiviston Auto’s funding base and provides significant flexibility to execute the company’s growth strategy focused on sustainable public transportation. CapMan Nordic Infrastructure I acquired Koiviston Auto in December 2021 to support its expansion and operational development. The Group now serves communities nationwide and is at the forefront of the transition to zero-emission public transport in Finland. It operates approximately 300 electric buses, with more than 50 additional electric buses expected to be deployed into traffic during 2026, further accelerating the electrification of its fleet. “The successful completion of this refinancing marks an important milestone for Koiviston Auto Group,” says Henrik Mikkola, CEO of Koiviston Auto Group. “The strong support from a diversified group of high-quality lenders underlines the robustness of our business and our long-term strategy. This financing allows us to continue investing in electric mobility and to provide reliable, sustainable and high-quality public transport services across Finland.” “Koiviston Auto Group plays a key role in the green transition of public transportation in Finland,” comments Ville Poukka, Managing Partner at CapMan Infra. “This refinancing significantly strengthens the company’s financial platform and enables continued investments into electric buses at scale. We are pleased to see strong lender confidence in the company’s strategy, operational performance and long-term growth prospects.”
