Equicapita Income Trust has sold Canadian Dental Labs (CDL) to Arvore Partners LP and Arvore Trust, effective July 2, 2026, according to Montreal Gazette. The deal marks the end of more than six years of building CDL into one of Canada's leading premium dental laboratory platforms.
Vancouver Sun reported the transaction closes a chapter that involved lab partners and staff across the country, along with industry clients, suppliers, and other key stakeholders. BMO Middle Market Mergers & Acquisitions, ATB Cormark Capital Markets, and Norton Rose Fulbright all advised on the deal.
Six Years of Building a National Dental Lab Platform
Equicapita spent over six years growing CDL from the ground up. The company focused on three pillars: technology, culture, and education, according to Recorder. The goal was to improve patient outcomes across Canada by raising the standard of dental laboratory work.
CDL grew into a multi-location platform with lab partners and staff spread across the country. County Market noted the sale to Arvore Partners LP and Arvore Trust marks the culmination of that long-term strategy. Arvore is now set to take ownership as of July 2, 2026.
Who Advised the Deal and Who Is Buying
Three major firms guided Equicapita and CDL shareholders through the transaction. BMO Middle Market Mergers & Acquisitions and ATB Cormark Capital Markets served as financial advisors. Norton Rose Fulbright provided legal counsel, according to Montreal Gazette.
The buyer, Arvore Partners LP and Arvore Trust, has not yet made a public statement on its plans for CDL. Clinton News Record confirmed the buyer's identity but did not detail Arvore's strategy for the business going forward.
Equicapita's Broader Role in Canadian Private Investment
Equicapita operates under the umbrella of Omnigence Corp., also known as Omnigence Asset Management. Omnigence is a Canadian alternative investment platform. Its focus spans farmland, operational private equity, and secondaries, according to Vancouver Sun.
The CDL sale is one example of Equicapita's private equity model in action — build a business over several years, then exit. Recorder described CDL as a subsidiary that Equicapita developed with a clear commitment to long-term value creation before finding a buyer.
