On 29^th August 2025, Qufora Ltd, a subsidiary of the Danish medical device manufacturer and supplier, Qufora, acquired Rapidcare (The Koppa Company Limited), a UK Dispensing Appliance Contractor (DAC).

EMC Advises on the Sale of Rapidcare.

EMC acted as Lead Corporate Finance Adviser to the shareholders of Rapidcare, Julia Constable and Family. Rapidcare specialises in the fulfilment of prescriptions for medical devices and related services issued by GPs and specialist prescribers, with a strong reputation for reliable home delivery to patients in the community supporting a wide range of chronic healthcare needs.

Qufora, headquartered in Denmark and a portfolio company of leading Nordic healthcare investor Impilo, manufactures and supplies medical devices dedicated to enabling people with chronic bowel disorders to live a more fulfilled life. Qufora and Rapidcare have enjoyed a strong strategic partnership for many years with Rapidcare providing the Qufora Direct service. The acquisition marks the next natural step in Qufora’s continued growth momentum and long-term strategic investments in the British healthcare market. Ultimately, it enhances the two companies’ well-established collaboration – strengthening their ability to support patients and further reinforcing their shared commitment to increase patient care.

This acquisition is the culmination of the strong relationship we already enjoyed with Rapidcare. It’s part of how we’re continuing to focus on what matters most – further strengthening our support to patients. With Rapidcare we share a commitment to providing the best possible service for people to smoothly transition into everyday life with a medical device.

I am really happy to welcome this experienced company into the Qufora group and look forward to starting our joint future together. I would also like to thank the team at EMC for their professional and knowledgeable approach. It was great to have such a team opposite us.

Lena Ehmsen Lachenmeier, CEO of Qufora

Like our relationships with Qufora, the one with EMC was formed many years ago and when we decided to consider the strategic direction of the Company it was a natural step to engage EMC to lead us through the process.

Led by Michael Pay, we were impressed by their leadership throughout the process. Providing clear strategic guidance, coordinating multiple stakeholders, and keeping the deal moving smoothly despite tight deadlines. Michael combined strong technical insight with a collaborative, client-focused approach, ensuring a successful outcome that delivered real value. I would highly recommend him and EMC Corporate Finance.

Julia Constable, owner at rapidcare

It was a pleasure to work with Julia and Mark, as well as the rest of the Family. The complexities of working in both a regulated environment with cross-border considerations always make deals challenging, but the commitment of all parties has created value for all involved.”

MICHAEL PAY, DIRECTOR AT EMC

Following the acquisition, Rapidcare will continue to operate as a provider of home delivery services across a range of healthcare needs, ensuring consistency for customers. Managing Director, Mark Constablewill remain in his role, providing continuity in leadership and a strong connection to the company’s values and history.
