12. Nov 2026  Capiton VI portfolio company SAPV Care acquires SAPV-Team Ludwigslust-Parchim expanding its coverage to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Berlin, November 2026 – We are pleased to announce that SAPV Care and the SAPV Team Ludwigslust-Parchim in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are joining forces. The goal is to permanently secure and jointly develop specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPV) in the region. This marks SAPV Care’s first expansion beyond Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland and is an important step toward becoming a nationwide provider.
 
Under the leadership of Dr. Fabian Föhring, the SAPV Team Ludwigslust-Parchim has built a high-performing care network over many years. The team’s experience and its established relationships with regional care partners will continue to form the foundation of the joint work.
 
Silvio Lorek, Managing Director of SAPV Care, says: “Good palliative care depends on people, trust and responsibility. In Ludwigslust-Parchim, we have met an experienced team that embodies exactly these values. Our aim is to preserve what works while opening up new perspectives. To do so, we bring the resources of a larger group: relief from administrative tasks, professional exchange, and support in recruiting skilled staff.”
 
Dr. Fabian Föhring adds: “With great personal commitment, we have built reliable care for the people in our region. It was particularly important to me to create a long-term perspective for this work. With SAPV Care, we have found a partner that shares our understanding of palliative care and values the structures we have built. Together, we can develop our work further and focus on what matters most: the people who rely on our support.”
 
Fritjof Franz, Managing Partner at Capiton, concludes: “We are very happy with the development of SAPV Care since the start of our partnership and support the management in its organic and inorganic growth plans. Our common focus remains on the quality of patient care, support for employees, and closeness to the people it serves.”
 
SAPV Care was advised by NEON (Legal), KPMG (Financial) and EY (Tax).
