Commenting on the deal Neil Keenan said:
"The completion of this investment in Ocuco by Accel-KKR is a terrific achievement for the business and will enable it to continue its very impressive growth trajectory. Having acted for Ocuco since 2005 I along with the team in Pinsent Masons were delighted to have had the opportunity to advise on this landmark transaction."
The investment is set to boost Ocuco's global momentum, enabling the company to meet the eyecare industry's burgeoning omnichannel demand through Acuitas 3 OmniChannel Edition, Ocuco's category-defining cloud-based software solution.
