Scranton Enterprises BV

Scranton Enterprises BV is a Dutch holding company founded in 1999 and headquartered in the Netherlands. It operates as a diversified investment enterprise with a focus on three main areas: healthcare, real estate, and growth capital for fast-growing companies. The company describes itself as excelling in speed of execution, corporate connectivity, capital deployment, and creating value for all stakeholders. Its investment portfolio spans sectors including medtech, luxury goods, technology, real estate, and healthcare, with activities primarily in Europe and the United States. Scranton Enterprises is structured around three subsidiaries: Centurión Real Estates, Assets Dunmore, and Scranton Plasma. It is owned by several executives of the multinational pharmaceutical company Grifols, including Víctor Grífols i Roura, former president and CEO of Grifols; Ramon Riera, a Grifols board member; and Tomás Dagá, a founding partner of Osborne Clarke in Spain. In 2019, its CEO was Lucca Tassan, an investment banker with experience at JPMorgan, RBS, Lehman Brothers, and Nomura. The company has made notable investments across various sectors. In 2015, it acquired a 5% stake in the second-hand marketplace app Wallapop. In 2016, it invested in the Catalan civil drone company Hemav, the software company Real Track Systems (based in Almeria), and the US health technology firm Qardio. In 2017, it acquired 76% of the capital of Juvé & Camps, a Catalan cava producer, and was the second-largest shareholder of Grifols with an 8.67% stake. In 2018, it took control of the basketball club Club Joventut Badalona through a €3.6 million capital increase, preventing its liquidation. In 2019, it formed an alliance with the real estate developer Corp to develop 2,500 rental homes in the Barcelona metropolitan area, with an investment of over €600 million, and injected €1.5 million into the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia to develop technology capable of predicting embryo implantation probability. In 2020, it financed adapted masks based on Decathlon diving goggles to protect healthcare professionals at Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona during high-risk maneuvers with coronavirus patients. Scranton Enterprises continues to build its real estate portfolio dynamically through acquisitions and disposals, remaining underweight in this category and looking to grow it in key selected European locations. It also supports fast-growing ventures and small and mid-cap companies with capital investments, advisory services, and connectivity through its network of professionals.
