LIVERPOOL, England, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcline Investment Management ("Arcline"), a growth-oriented private equity firm with $4.3 billion of cumulative capital commitments, today announced that it has acquired ChargePoint Technology Holdings Limited ("ChargePoint" or "the Company"). The transaction is the inaugural investment of Arcline's second fund and marks an exit for UK mid-market private equity firm LDC following a four-year partnership.

Arcline commented, "ChargePoint supports the production of life-saving therapies by providing best-in-class containment and aseptic transfer technologies to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. Specifically, the Company's products provide industry-leading solutions for handling highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) and sterile drug products across the most demanding drug manufacturing applications in the areas of oncology, diabetes, and other highly toxic therapies. We are committed to supporting ChargePoint in its next phase of growth through investments in product development, go-to-market capabilities, and add-on acquisitions."
Chris Eccles, CEO of ChargePoint, added, "We are excited to partner with Arcline, a firm that shares our passion for providing our customers with safer containment and sterile transfer technologies, which are critical to the future of medicine.
