Storskogen has acquired LEP AG ("LEP"), a Swiss-headquartered company offering digital healthcare documentation solutions. The company generated sales of CHF 6.1 million in 2024, approximately SEK 72 million, with about 80 percent of its revenues stemming from recurring subscriptions.
The acquisition is in line with Storskogen's communicated strategy to increase exposure to sectors that combine solid long-term growth and lower sensitivity to economic cycles. Digitalisation and health are two investment themes that Storskogen has pinpointed. Christer Hansson, CEO of Storskogen:
"LEP exemplifies the kind of less cyclical, cash-generative business we seek, with strong profitability, recurring revenues and potential for geographic and sector expansion. The company's market-leading position makes it a compelling addition to our Group."
Founded in 2000, LEP's platform is today the standard for documenting nursing interventions in Switzerland and Germany and it is increasingly used across Austria. The company's solution is integrated with third-party software used by over 1,250 healthcare providers, enabling efficient documentation and analytics directly at the point of care.
"LEP's content-driven, software-integrated solution and highly profitable business is a perfect example of a niche market leader with strong ties to the healthcare ecosystem", says Sandro Wiesendanger, Head of Business Area Services and M&A of Storskogen DACH. "We are excited to welcome the LEP team to Storskogen and look forward to supporting their continued growth across Europe."
The original shareholder group, including founders, previous employees, and Kantonsspital St. Gallen, is selling a qualified majority stake in the company to facilitate succession planning and positon the company for its next phase. LEP's existing management team, under the leadership of CEO Stefan Hieber, will remain on board and continue to lead the company's strategic development.
"We are proud of what LEP has achieved over the past two decades. With Storskogen as a long-term partner, we are confident that LEP will continue to grow, expand into new markets and further innovate in support of the healthcare sector", says Stefan Hieber, CEO of LEP.
At Storskogen, the company will become part of the Business Services vertical in the Services business area and is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Storskogen's earnings and EBITA margin.
The acquisition was completed on 6 August 2025.
