Lanas Healthcare Technologies Launches with Over $115m of Committed M&A Funding Following Clanwilliam Group Acquisition
Backed by TA Associates, the new global healthcare technology platform combines proven healthcare EHR expertise with an ambitious growth strategy
Lanas Healthcare Technologies Ltd. (“Lanas”), a new player in the global healthcare technology market, has officially launched following its acquisition of Clanwilliam Group. Backed by leading global private equity firm TA Associates (“TA”), Lanas enters the market with annual revenues exceeding $120 million, clinical customers in more than 20 countries, and 19 offices across three continents.
Headquartered in Dublin, Lanas will focus on acquiring, scaling and supporting proven healthcare technologies internationally, with an aim to advance the electronic health record (EHR) market through innovation and operational excellence.
Its technologies and services serve five core verticals –pharmacy, primary and community care, specialists, care platforms, and medical communications– with key markets in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
The launch follows the September acquisition of Clanwilliam Group and the establishment of a more than $115 million acquisition funding package, to be deployed in the near term. Alongside TA, the transaction is supported by Apollo-managed funds, Hayfin Capital Management, and Arcmont Asset Management who, in addition to the committed M&A facility, are providing additional capital to fuel Lanas’ broader growth ambitions.
Founded in 1996 by Howard Beggs, Clanwilliam grew from a local Irish healthtech company into a multinational group providing EHR technology to more than 1.5 million clinical users worldwide.
Howard Beggs, Founder and CEO of Lanas, said, “Lanas has launched with Clanwilliam as part of its foundation, providing immediate scale and a three-decade track record of quality, reliability and innovation in its products and services. Our goal is to triple the size of the business through organic growth and targeted acquisitions in our core vertical market segments. We already have a very active M&A roadmap and expect further acquisitions to be announced in the months ahead.”
Howard Beggs is joined on the Lanas board by Lovisa Lander and Morgan Seigler of TA, who bring deep experience scaling global healthcare and technology platforms. Together, the Lanas leadership team and board combines operational excellence, entrepreneurial energy and institutional strength, positioning Lanas for continued growth.
“Our mission at Lanas is to ignite healthcare innovation and turn ideas into impact,” said Lovisa Lander, Director at TA. “We are proud to build a platform that enables healthcare professionals to harness the power of technology in their daily work and supports the next generation of healthtech solutions.”
According to The Business Research Company, the global ‘Healthcare Technology Market’ was valued at approximately $507 billion in 2024, is expected to reach nearly $588 billion in 2025, and could grow to $1.2 trillion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 20%.
Lanas’ launch reflects this increasing demand and investment in the global healthcare market. By investing in proven technologies and supporting continued innovation, Lanas aims to strengthen healthcare systems and support the delivery of more efficient, safer and connected care worldwide.
