KKR Launches Allyntra, a Precision-Engineered Solutions Platform for MedTech Markets
KKR has announced the launch of Allyntra, a newly formed precision-engineered solutions platform serving medical technology and other precision end markets. The platform builds on KKR’s existing investment in Precipart through its Health Care Strategic Growth Fund II, with Precipart serving as one of the foundational businesses. KKR is committing additional capital to support Allyntra’s growth by acquiring and integrating complementary best-in-class businesses and through continued investment in innovation and commercial expansion.
Robbie Atkinson will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Allyntra, with Brian Highley serving as Chairman. Atkinson previously served as CEO and President of Medical Manufacturing Technologies, where he led the company through a period of significant expansion culminating in its sale to Perimeter Solutions. Highley brings more than 30 years of experience across the medical technology industry, having previously served as CEO of Cirtec, where he scaled the company from two sites into a leading provider of end-to-end services to medical technology OEMs.
Ali Satvat, Global Head of Health Care Strategic Growth and Co-Head of Americas Private Equity Health Care at KKR, and Anuv Ratan, Managing Director at KKR, said the deepened commitment to Allyntra reflects confidence in the market opportunity and in Atkinson’s and Highley’s ability to bring the vision to life. They noted that since first investing in Precipart in 2023, KKR has become increasingly convinced of the opportunity to create a distinctive precision-engineered solutions platform, and the firm is pleased to continue its strategic partnership with the Laubscher family, who will remain a meaningful shareholder.
Atkinson said the pace of innovation across medical technology and other highly engineered industries continues to accelerate, and as technologies become more sophisticated, customers are looking for partners who can help them move faster, solve increasingly complex challenges, and bring new ideas to life. He added that is exactly the opportunity he sees for Allyntra.
Highley said that throughout his career, he has learned that the companies that endure are the ones that combine technical excellence with a willingness to continue evolving alongside their customers. He noted that those are the qualities he believes will define Allyntra, and expressed excitement about helping shape its future.
As part of the platform launch, Oliver Laubscher will join the Allyntra Board of Directors and transition from his role as CEO of Precipart. Laubscher said that for more than 70 years, Precipart has earned its customers’ trust through engineering excellence, innovation, and a relentless focus on quality. He added that he looks forward to continuing to work with KKR, Atkinson, and Highley to support Allyntra’s next chapter of growth — building on the company’s legacy and culture while furthering its mission to help customers “engineer possible.”
