Avanta Salud Integral acquires Vitaly Group

The deal creates a combined occupational health platform serving more than 240,000 clients and 4 million protected workers across Iberia.

Avanta Salud Integral, a portfolio company of H.I.G.

Capital, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Vitaly Group, an Iberian occupational health and safety services provider.

The transaction brings together two complementary OHS platforms in Spain, creating a combined business with more than 240,000 clients, 4 million protected workers, and approximately 5,500 employees across 505 centers.

Vitaly Group, headquartered in Badajoz, was formed in 2022 through the merger of Grupo Preving and Cualtis.

It serves roughly 140,000 clients—covering 2.5 million protected workers—through 387 centers and 147 mobile units, and employs around 3,700 professionals.

Its services span technical prevention, occupational medicine, training, and elective health offerings, primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Avanta focuses on mandatory OHS services such as health surveillance, technical prevention, risk engineering, training, and compliance consulting, along with elective services like mental health support and absenteeism management.

The combination broadens the platform’s footprint and adds Vitaly’s artificial intelligence capabilities, embedded in back-office workflows and digital services, which will be deployed across the enlarged group to support integration and international expansion.

Vitaly’s co-founders and co-CEOs, Jesús Nieto and Andrés López, will reinvest in the combined entity alongside H.I.G., Avanta founder Josep Pla, and minority investor MCH Private Equity.

The deal is subject to customary closing conditions.
