Mediterrania Capital Partners (MCP) has made an investment in Morocco’s Dislog Dispositifs Médicaux (DDM) through a Dh540 million ($59 million) capital increase together with CDG Invest Growth.
In recent years, under the leadership of Moncef Belkhayat, Dislog has strengthened its position as a leading player in Morocco’s fast-moving consumer goods sector. The group now markets more than 100 brands across its food, health and hygiene divisions. Within its health arm, DDM focuses on the design, manufacture and distribution of medical devices for healthcare professionals.
DDM aims to become the one-stop-shop for medical device solutions across therapeutic areas – covering everything from equipment procurement and deployment to engineering, technical support, and maintenance services.
Albert Alsina, founder and CEO of Mediterrania Capital Partners, said: “This investment in Dislog Dispositifs Médicaux reflects our continued commitment to supporting high-impact sectors across Africa. We are proud to join forces with a visionary entrepreneur like Moncef Belkhayat to help build a national and regional champion in medical devices.”
Hatim Ben Ahmed, managing partner of Mediterrania Capital Partners, commented: “Following our recent investment in Dislog, we are very confident about this new venture. By implementing our value creation model, we aim to build a leading medical equipment platform through a buy-and-build strategy. This partnership is expected to deliver impact-driven returns while benefiting the Moroccan people by ensuring access to essential healthcare for all.”
Mediterrania exited Dislog after a 3.5-year tenure in which Dislog achieved annual revenues of over €332 million – an 89% increase since the private equity firm’s investment in July 2021.
