Beyond Capital Partners Fund II, a fund advised by Beyond Capital Partners GmbH, has acquired 100% of the shares in Rostock-based Scharpenberg Orthopädie-Technik GmbH (“Scharpenberg”) via its portfolio company Ank-Kaiser Sanitätshaus GmbH (“Ank-Kaiser”) and is continuing its growth strategy. The closing took place on July 31st, 2024.
Ank-Kaiser is the leading full-range medical supply store chain in Rhineland-Palatine with 13 stores and excellent reputation, being incumbent in many hospitals and ambulatory healthcare centres and having a well-established network. With the acquisition of the highly renowned medical supply store chain Scharpenberg who offers a wide range of medical, rehabilitation, aftercare and healthcare products to its B2B and B2C customers being patients, hospitals and resident doctors and with a network of seven medical supply stores in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and Brandenburg, Ank-Kaiser creates a supra-regional group with 20 stores, innovative technology and a scalable infrastructure to further expand geographically.
Ralph Scharpenberg, Managing Director of Scharpenberg Orthopädie-Technik GmbH: “We offer comprehensive advice and care in the fields of orthopaedics and rehabilitation technology and Scharpenberg is the first and only endo-exo competence center in Northern Germany thanks to many years of experience and close cooperation with the University Medical Center Rostock. As an innovative partner for Ank-Kaiser, we are very much looking forward to being part of the Ank group.”
“Scharpenberg has established itself over the years as a leading medical supply store group in the region around the headquarter in Rostock. We see strong synergy potential in the areas of orthopaedic technology and rehabilitation fittings in particular,” says Simon Geib, Managing Director of Ank-Kaiser Sanitätshaus GmbH.
Christoph D. Kauter, Managing Partner and founder of Beyond Capital Partners, states: “The medical supply store market in Germany is highly fragmented. With the acquisition of Scharpenberg as an add-on investment, Ank-Kaiser is starting the roll-up strategy with more additional acquisitions to be expected with the target to form one of the leading medical supply store chains in Germany.“

Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen is one of the leading German forest nurseries for the cultivation of premium forest seedlings and grows many millions of seedlings annually on more than 100 hectares, on which a wide range of tree species, including sweet chestnut, oak, spruce, service tree and Douglas fir, are nursed. The forest tree nursery has been supplying municipalities, states as well as other nurseries and private forest owners since 1938 and has grown continuously in recent years. Our location in Halstenbek is the largest forest tree nursery region in Germany and is considered the “cradle of the forest” due to the fertile soil and optimal microclimatic conditions.
Forest tree nurseries are an important subgroup of tree nurseries and operate around 12% of Germany’s total tree nursery area. Overall, forest nurseries play a central role in the fight against climate change, as they are an integral part of the reforestation of German forests. At the same time, they enable companies to become more sustainable and achieve climate targets. Demand for seedlings for forestry plants has risen accordingly. The German forest relieves the atmosphere of 62 million tons of CO2 every year.
The aim is to further accelerate the impressive growth of Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen together with Beyond Capital Partners and to continue its expansion through selective acquisitions.
