WayPoint Capital Partners Announces DME Express has acquired Maryland-based Advanced Therapeutics

BATON ROUGE, La., July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DME Express, a leading technology-enabled provider of medical equipment solutions to the hospice industry, has completed its acquisition of Maryland-based Advanced Therapeutics. The transaction represents the fourth add-on acquisition for DME Express since the beginning of 2017. DME Express, which is backed by multi-billion-dollar single family office WayPoint Capital Partners, now serves over 10,000 hospice patients throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Hawaii.

DME Express' CEO, Mark Borneleit, stated, "This transaction will enable us to continue our strategy of new market expansion by acquiring high quality regional operations in fragmented markets ripe for consolidation, where DME Express can provide superior service, lower costs and higher quality equipment to customers. Advanced Therapeutics was founded in 1995 by two industry veterans with over 50 years of experience providing medical equipment to the subacute healthcare industry. Advanced Therapeutics has been serving customers in the Mid-Atlantic for over 15 years, providing medical equipment to some of the largest hospice providers in the nation. Advanced Therapeutics' strong reputation and established relationships in the area, combined with its experienced staff, provide a solid platform for DME Express to further expand in the Mid-Atlantic and other parts of the country."

We expect to continue to see strong acquisition-based and organic growth over the next few years."
