TM Capital served as exclusive financial advisor to Canadian Hospital Specialties (“CHS”) − a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of specialty medical and surgical devices − to the Cortec Group. By focusing on “outcome-driven” devices where safety, quality, complexity and customization are crucial, CHS has positioned itself as a leading provider of medical devices to virtually every hospital in Canada. TM Capital leveraged its deep knowledge and experience in the medical device sector to maximize value for the shareholders of CHS, which included the private equity firm Hammond Kennedy, Whitney & Co., Inc. and senior management led by the Enns family, who founded the company in 1967. This marks the eighth transaction TM has completed on behalf of HKW, with whom we have enjoyed a relationship spanning over 20 years.

– 
CHS manufactures and sells its own MED-RX® branded products and markets devices under exclusive relationships with third party OEMs

– CHS’ broad portfolio of products, strong reputation for customer service and decades long relationships with decision makers at Canadian hospitals have earned the company a leadership position in its chosen markets

– Cortec Group, a private equity firm with more than $1 billion of capital under management, invests in middle market healthcare, consumer, and specialty products businesses

– Cortec Group recapitalized CHS along with senior management led by the Enns family, the company’s founders
