CVC Credit, the dedicated credit arm of global private markets manager CVC, is pleased to announce that it has provided debt facilities to support the strategic acquisition of Avanta, a leading occupational health and safety (OHS) services provider in Spain. The financing package was put in place to back H.I.G. Capital’s majority investment in the company.
Headquartered in Valencia, Avanta delivers a broad range of mandatory and elective workplace health and safety services to more than 100,000 corporate clients and covers over one million employees through a network of more than 250 medical centres and mobile units. The company’s deep regulatory expertise and essential service offerings have positioned it as a key player in Spain’s OHS sector, one of the fastest‑growing segments of the healthcare and business services market.
David Deregowski, Managing Director in CVC Credit’s Private Credit team, commented: “We are delighted to close this latest transaction for our European Direct Lending strategy, which focuses on backing established businesses like Avanta across Europe. Operating in a growing market, with a stable and attractive financial profile, Avanta is well placed to continue to develop in partnership with its new owner H.I.G Capital, and CVC Credit looks forward to supporting this journey.”
The transaction, which closed in December 2025, was supported by a club of lenders including CVC Credit and Crescent Capital, with legal advice provided by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP.
H.I.G. Capital’s investment underscores continued private equity interest in resilient, regulation‑driven healthcare and services platforms across Europe. Avanta’s management team will remain in place, ensuring continuity in strategic execution and client relationships as the business pursues regional expansion and further service innovation.
