We acquire and operate healthcare-only logistics businesses across the Chicago area: medical courier, equipment repair, reverse logistics, and lab logistics. We're a single operator, not a rollup or a fund manager, backed to move fast on the right deal.
Arterial only acquires businesses where healthcare is the whole business, not a slice of it. That focus is deliberate: healthcare logistics is recession-resistant, the work is recurring, and the owners we talk to have usually built something more specialized than a general logistics buyer knows how to value.
We back operators who already know how to run these businesses. Our job is bringing resources and patience, not day-to-day control.
Medication has to move. Instruments have to get repaired, and labs need their samples on time. We back businesses built around that reliability, and we run them the same way.
Brad has closed close to twenty acquisitions and run operations well past the finance seat, including a 2,200-driver fleet. It's proven experience, already tested on real deals.
We want you around, whether that's a short handoff or staying on with an equity role. This is your business. We're here to help it grow into its next chapter, not erase what got it here.
Brad's own background is in specialized medical courier work. Across all four areas below, we're looking for the same thing: pure-play healthcare businesses with reliable, recurring work and an owner who built something real.
Time-critical delivery for the healthcare system: medications, specialty pharmaceuticals, isotopes and other nuclear medicine materials, and lab specimens that can't wait for standard freight.
Maintenance, repair, and sterilization for medical instruments and equipment, whether the work happens on-site at a facility or back in a shop.
Getting healthcare assets back where they belong: expired medication pickup, equipment returns to hospitals and rental agencies, and other recovery work moving in the other direction.
Specimen and sample logistics for labs, human and veterinary.
A short transition, an advisory seat, or staying on with a piece of equity. We'll figure out what fits, together.
A long-term institutional partner stands behind Arterial, with resources set aside for the acquisition itself and for what comes after it.
Brad has been on the other side of an acquisition himself. He knows the people side of integration is the part that actually matters.
If healthcare logistics is what you've built, we'd like to hear about it.
