Morning all, Craig McGlashan here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom.
We’ve got an exclusive interview to start the day, as we speak to Vincent Guillaumot, managing partner at Archimed, about his firm’s latest acquisition, announced this morning: BioVendor.
Next, we’ve got news of some new promotions at EQT, as the firm names a pair of private capital co-heads to replace Per Franzén, who is becoming CEO. We’ve also got some comment on the moves from chief commercial officer Suzanne Donohoe, who spoke about them at PEI Group’s NEXUS 2025 summit in Orlando.
On that subject, just a quick reminder that PE Hub Editor-in-Chief MK Flynn ([email protected]) and reporter Rafael Canton ([email protected]) are there. Make sure to drop them a note if you want a chat. You can also see our latest coverage from the event here.
Finally, we’ve got a couple of deals from HIG Capital to report. One in the technical consulting sector, and the other in industrial services.
‘Solid portfolio’
Archimed sees opportunities in the diagnostics sector amid changing regulations and potential tariff threats, Vincent Guillaumot, managing partner, told PE Hub in an exclusive interview about the firm’s new acquisition in the sector, announced this morning: BioVendor.

Succession
EQT has appointed new co-heads of private capital, following last month’s appointment of Per Franzén as CEO.
Full details, as well as comment from chief commercial officer Suzanne Donohoe, are in the premium version of the Wire.
Double deal
It’s been a busy few days for HIG Capital. The firm announced today that it has acquired a majority stake in Protos, an independent technical consulting business, in partnership with the company’s management.
Earlier, a new affiliate of HIG-backed Rainham Industrial Services bought TEi out of administration.
Read more on both deals in the premium version of the Wire.
Right, that’s it from me. Michael Schoeck is in the US chair later today, where he’ll feature some fresh coverage from NEXUS. I’ll be back with you from Europe tomorrow.
Cheers,
Craig
