Belgian private equity group Gimv NV divested a stake in Benedenti back to the Claes family, the founders of the local dental services firm, for an undisclosed sum.

Benedenti was established in 1985 as a private dental practice by Rik Claes and his wife Griet Luyten. Gimv bought a minority stake in the firm at the end of 2015 and sold it back to the founders in a deal that closed May 17.
