Amsterdam, 21 August 2023 – Holland Capital invests in Lopital, one of the market leaders in the Netherlands in the field of innovative hygiene and mobility tools, active in more than 25 countries. Holland Capital supports the organization in its growth plans by focusing on both organic growth and buy-and-build opportunities, both nationally and internationally.

Hygiene and mobility aids for healthcare

The increasing aging population and the resulting pressure on healthcare highlights the need for more attention to healthcare staff. Physical strain and excessive workload are the main causes of high absenteeism among healthcare providers. Lopital develops, assembles, and implements high-quality aids to prevent physical strain and reduce workload.

Lopital distinguishes itself through its unique adaptability and customer-centric approach. Its products are specially designed to provide optimal hygienic care by healthcare providers to their clients, meeting specific customer needs. This makes Lopital’s products versatile and suitable for various caregivers and clients. Another advantage of Lopital’s product line is the use of a uniform technology, allowing healthcare providers to quickly become familiar with the tools’ functionality and efficiency.

In addition to high-quality healthcare aids, Lopital offers tailored training for healthcare professionals to maximize the products’ benefits and improve patient care. Lopital has developed a unique digital service and maintenance portal, which monitors and proactively addresses the aids’ service needs. This ensures functional tools for healthcare providers and clients, with quick solutions for maintenance needs and efficient delivery of replacement parts.
