Advisory to the shareholders of VisionmaxX Group on its majority sale to NORD Holding
Steffen Konrad and Jens Schlerf
VisionmaxX enters its next growth phase with NORD Holding, aiming to develop VisionmaxX Group into the central digital IT infrastructure platform for outpatient healthcare in the DACH region.
April 2026. ox8 Corporate Finance exclusively advised the shareholders of VisionmaxX Group (“VisionmaxX”) on the majority sale to NORD Holding.
Founded in 2004 by Steffen Konrad and Jens Schlerf, VisionmaxX has since become the leading IT partner for medical practices in Germany, with a focus on the dental sector. The comprehensive service portfolio ranges from IT infrastructure and telematics services to practice software integration and IT security. With its sister company VisionCare, the group is already actively expanding into the care sector, laying the foundation for a cross-sector growth strategy in outpatient healthcare.
Together with founders Steffen Konrad and Jens Schlerf, NORD Holding intends to develop VisionmaxX Group into the central digital IT infrastructure platform for outpatient healthcare in the DACH region. Growth is to be driven both organically through expansion into adjacent medical specialties and care segments and inorganically through targeted partnerships and acquisitions.

“We are at the beginning of a new phase – for our company and for the digitalisation of healthcare as a whole. NORD Holding is a highly entrepreneurial partner and gives us the resources and reach to build what we had in mind from the very start: a company that makes everyday life in medical practices sustainably simpler,” says Steffen Konrad.
Jens Schlerf adds: “We built VisionmaxX because we firmly believe that physicians need a partner they can fully entrust with their IT- so they can focus on their patients. With NORD Holding, we now have the support to carry this vision into the entire outpatient healthcare sector.”
Mario Sabljo, Partner at NORD Holding, says: “VisionmaxX is exactly the type of company NORD Holding invests in: an innovative quality business with clear market leadership, a well-coordinated founding team, and a market that is growing structurally. We look forward to taking the next step together with Steffen and Jens.”
Reflecting on the collaboration with ox8 Corporate Finance, Jens Schlerf comments: “Working with ox8 delighted us from our very first meeting: from the outset, the collaboration was highly dynamic, professional and clearly aligned around shared goals. Particularly noteworthy were the consistently friendly and appreciative communication as well as the impressively fast response times, which conveyed a high level of reliability at all times.”
Steffen Konrad adds: “Throughout the entire process, the ox8 team showed exceptional commitment and momentum, which meant we always felt optimally supported. This combination of engagement, speed and clear communication was a key factor in enabling us to achieve a very successful outcome together. We look back on an all-round positive collaboration and would recommend ox8 at any time.”
