RoundTable Healthcare Partners Portfolio Company, Healthcare Components Group, Acquires Endoscopy Development Company

LAKE FOREST, IL, November 17, 2021— RoundTable Healthcare Partners (“RoundTable”), an operating-oriented private equity firm focused exclusively on the healthcare industry, announced today that its portfolio company, Healthcare Components Group (“HCG”), has acquired Endoscopy Development Company (“EDC”). Founded in 2003, EDC is a leading precision engineering and manufacturer of replacement and repair parts used in the repair of flexible endoscopy equipment.

Marcus Rosenberg, the current President of EDC, will serve in an expanded role as HCG’s President, Americas, and Jeffrey Lay, EDC’s co-founder, will remain an investor in the business and serve on the board of HCG.

Larry Hicks, Chief Executive Officer of HCG stated, “This acquisition significantly enhances our offering of components used in the development and repair of endoscopes to our customers while simultaneously providing an enhanced opportunity for career growth to our employees in a larger, more robust business.” Marcus Rosenberg added, “We are excited to partner with HCG and RoundTable. We believe the combined product portfolio will allow us to better serve our customers.”

“We are extremely excited to further invest in HCG’s growth,” said Tom Kapfer, Managing Partner of RoundTable and Chairman of HCG. “Jeff and Marcus have built a tremendous business that is the market leader in parts for flexible endoscopes. We are very pleased to bring together two best in class endoscope component manufacturers.” Healthcare Components Group financed the acquisition with a combination of incremental senior debt and an incremental equity investment from RoundTable’s Equity Fund V.
