NEW BRITAIN, CT - MicroCare announced that Capital Partners™, Norwalk, Connecticut, completed a control investment in MicroCare LLC in partnership with the company’s co-founder and senior management on May 28, 2020. MicroCare will continue to operate under the MicroCare™, Sticklers™ and MicroCare Medical™ brands.

“We closed this investment in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis as the company has proven to be a strong, recession-resistant essential business, which should benefit from a growing global focus on cleanliness and increasing importance on telecom infrastructure,” said Sarah Paquet, Vice President at Capital Partners.
