JOYinCARE specialises in the development, production, and sale of patient handling and transfer equipment designed to reduce physical strain for caregivers. Since 2020, Karmijn Kapitaal, together with JOYinCARE&#8217;s management, has strengthened the company&#8217;s position and achieved significant growth.  <\/p>\n<p>In early 2023, the group expanded by acquiring TR-Care, a service specialist providing care equipment maintenance. The care group also includes Confexion, a sewing workshop for custom-made lifting belts, which employs people that are distant from the labour market. <\/p>\n<p>Knop Investments invests in medium-sized companies with people and sustainability at their core. The focus is on the long-term, for the benefit of future generations, aligning with the new investment in JOYinCARE. <\/p>\n<p>Stepstone Corporate Finance+ supported the management with its investment in JoyInCare, while CORP assisted management with the legal aspects during this transaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":2312,"template":"","soort_deal":[64],"sector_deal":[57],"class_list":["post-2690","transacties","type-transacties","status-publish","hentry","soort_deal-management-buy-outs-mbos","sector_deal-healthcare"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Management &amp;
