We have advised the owners of Axitare, a Finnish health technology company providing automated medicine dispensing robots, on its sale to Vaaka Partners, a Finnish private equity investor.  

Axitare Oy is a Finnish health technology company founded in 2016, specialising in automated medication dispensing robots designed to support elderly individuals living at home. Axitare’s flagship product is an easy-to-use dispensing robot that delivers medications in user-friendly cups without requiring users to press buttons or handle packaging. This innovation enhances medication adherence and safety, reducing the workload on caregivers. Developed in close collaboration with home care professionals, Axitare's solution is now utilised in over 4,000 homes across Finland and Denmark. 

In 2024, Axitare achieved revenues of €5.8m, showing impressive 75% growth, and over 50% EBITDA margin. Together with Vaaka Partners, Axitare’s plan is to accelerate its international growth and expand its innovative solutions to new markets. As a leader in utilising medicine dispensing robots for home care, Finland sets an example that many European countries are now following to modernise their home care processes. 

 In May 2025, Axitare launched a new version of its medicine dispensing robot with an integrated remote video connection platform for home care customers, caregivers, and family members.

From the very beginning, it was clear to us that achieving the best possible outcome would require the support of a financial advisor. After completing the process, we are even more convinced of the invaluable support Clearwater brought us — the result exceeded all our expectations.
With Clearwater’s support, we were able to secure the best possible future for our company and achieve excellent deal terms. I can wholeheartedly recommend Clearwater to any entrepreneur facing one of most significant and emotional decisions of their career: selling their life’s work.

Jukka Penttinen, CEO and Founder of Axitare

We are very pleased to have supported Jukka Penttinen and his team in finding an excellent partner for Axitare’s next growth phase. Axitare is already one of Finland's leading digital healthcare companies and has strong growth potential outside its home market. The company’s success is built primarily on a deep understanding of end-customer needs. Axitare attracted strong interest from a wide range of investors and strategic buyers.
