MBL welcomes MidEuropa as new majority shareholder
With the second generation of the Lauritsen family remaining as a significant shareholder, we’re proud to share that MidEuropa has acquired a majority stake in MBL. The existing management team continues unchanged.
New investor. Same management team and family-run business
On 18 December 2025, MBL enters a new chapter in our growth journey. MidEuropa, a leading European private equity investor, has acquired a majority stake in MBL Group. While INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund relinquishes its 48% stake, the second generation of the Lauritsen family continues as a significant shareholder, retaining a 35% ownership stake.
For our customers, partners, and more than 1,700 skilled colleagues worldwide, this change in ownership does not alter MBL’s identity or how the company is run. MBL remains firmly anchored in the founding family and philosophy, with CEO Martin Bichel Lauritsen and CMO Anne Bichel Lûneborg – children of the founders – continuing in their current roles alongside the existing management team. Founders Ingelise and Mogens Lauritsen will continue to be familiar faces in the organisation.
A stronger platform to fuel future growth
Our new partnership with MidEuropa brings additional financial strength and strategic support to MBL as global demand for reliable, high-quality mobility and rehabilitation solutions grows due to ageing populations, increases in chronic conditions, and broader access to care.
With MidEuropa on board, MBL will be even better positioned to invest in capacity, innovation and sustainability, to expand our international footprint and to develop new solutions together with existing and new customers.
Commenting on the transaction, CEO Martin Bichel Lauritsen says:
“MBL has always been about combining engineering excellence with respect for people, and a deep understanding of how our products improve people’s lives. With MidEuropa, we gain a long-term partner who shares that belief and supports our ambitious plans for continued international growth.”
This is an ownership change that promises continuity and opportunity. MBL remains the same trusted partner it has always been – now with even stronger backing to pursue our long-term strategy — as a leading CDMO and supplier of solutions to the rehabilitation and aged care industries.
