(Press Release) Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), a global investment group, today announced that it will acquire a significant minority stake in Grupo Diagnóstico Aries (the “Company”), one of the fastest growing medical diagnostic services groups in Mexico.

We will continue to work at the level of excellence that has always characterized us. And now together with CDPQ, we will continue to grow and consolidate Grupo Diagnóstico Aries as a world-class company,” said Ernesto Lopez Clariond, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Empresas Aries.

“We are pleased to be investing in Grupo Diagnóstico Aries, who are committed to helping millions of people living in Mexico prevent, detect, and treat their health conditions,” said Martin Laguerre, Executive Vice-President and Head of Private Equity and Capital Solutions at CDPQ. “The management team have demonstrated sound strategic thinking and strong operating capabilities to drive the Company’s success to date. We look forward to working with them to capitalize on growth and digitalization opportunities to create value and consolidate the Company’s position in the medical diagnostic service industry in Mexico“.
