NewPort Capital sells Scan Modul to Asker Healthcare Group
Transaction summary
AMSTERDAM, July 4, 2025 – NewPort Capital (“NewPort”) has announced the successful completion of the sale of Scan Modul, a pioneer in hospital logistics and modular storage solutions, to Asker Healthcare Group (“Asker”), a leading European healthcare solutions provider [Nasdaq Stockholm: ASK.ST].
Since joining the NewPort portfolio, Scan Modul — known for its proven expertise in hospital logistics optimization — has showcased strong and profitable growth, amongst others bolstered by the strategic add-on acquisition of Belintra. This transaction expanded Scan Modul’s international footprint, broadened its product portfolio into sustainable and highly efficient hospital solutions and further strengthened its competitive position across Europe and the US.
This acquisition enables Asker to leverage Scan Modul’s proven solutions in hospital logistics alongside its existing service offerings, reinforcing its leadership position in Northern and Western Europe and providing further growth runway across its European network of customers. Given Asker’s twin-engine organic and acquisitive growth strategy, Scan Modul is a strong fit for its ambitions to offer best-in-class solutions across a broad range of healthcare customers.
Melvin Sie, Partner at NewPort, commented: “Scan Modul’s remarkable progress under our ownership, especially through its transformative add-on acquisition of Belintra, demonstrates the value of focused strategic initiatives. Together, these companies successfully scaled internationally, introduced new sustainability-focused product offerings, and delivered lasting value to customers. We believe that Scan Modul’s partnership with Asker will enable the next phase of innovation and international growth as part of a well-resourced and highly experienced group.”
Johan Falk, CEO of Asker, added: “Scan Modul will be an excellent complement to our existing offering. We are already selling the products that are stored in their solutions in the same markets, and now we can offer an even more comprehensive solution to support nurses and doctors in their daily work. We are pleased to welcome the team from Scan Modul to Asker and look forward to contributing to the company’s continued growth.”
Patrick Bark, CEO of Scan Modul, said: “Our partnership with NewPort enabled us to drive value engineering across our product range and streamline our operations, allowing Scan Modul to offer even more sustainable and efficient solutions for our customers. Together with the entire management team, I’m excited to join the Asker family and continue building on this strong foundation. Under the wings of our new owner, we see tremendous opportunity to grow, innovate, and create long-term value for hospitals across Europe.”
