Evac has successfully transitioned ownership to Altor Equity Partners, as confirmed by the company. The deal, announced in December 2025, signifies a significant strategic milestone for Evac. Notably, the transaction did not alter operations, customer commitments, contracts, or contact points. Prior to Altor, Evac was owned by Bridgepoint, a leading global mid-market investor.

Altor, a Nordic private equity firm established in 2003, specializes in investing in mid-sized companies across the Nordic and DACH regions. The firm emphasizes long-term value creation and sustainability. Speaking about the transition, Evac CEO Björn Ullbro emphasized the company's commitment to its customers, stating that with Altor as its new owner, Evac is well-positioned to further strengthen the value it brings to its customers and support their long-term success.

Despite the change in ownership, Evac continues to operate under its recognized brands - Evac, Cathelco, and HEM. This transition underscores Evac's stability and commitment to its core operations and customer focus.
