BOSTON & WILLISTON, Vt.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Copley Equity Partners (“Copley Equity” or “Copley”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Vital Delivery Solutions (“Vital” or “VDS”), a leading New England–based provider of healthcare logistics and courier services. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 1987, VDS has built a strong reputation for providing reliable, time-sensitive delivery and warehousing services. From a single route nearly four decades ago, VDS has grown its operations to over 200 daily routes, supported by a fleet of nearly 250 company vehicles and a team of roughly 300 professional drivers serving clients including healthcare facilities, laboratories, and pharmacies, among others.
Under Copley’s ownership, VDS will continue to operate under its trusted brand and white-glove service model — leveraging its robust fleet, advanced dispatch technology, and 24/7 operational capability — while gaining access to Copley’s resources and strategic guidance to expand both service offerings and geographic coverage.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Copley Equity Partners,” said Matt Kozlowski, CEO of Vital Delivery Solutions. “This partnership represents a fantastic opportunity to accelerate our growth, expand our capacity, and continue delivering the reliable, high-quality service our customers expect.”
“This acquisition reflects our confidence in VDS’ proven track record, operational excellence, and critical role in supporting healthcare and time-sensitive delivery needs across New England,” said Peter Trovato, Managing Partner at Copley.
Sean Sullivan, Principal at Copley, added, “We are excited to partner with Matt and the VDS leadership team to build upon their success and support VDS as it expands deeper into healthcare, laboratory, and other mission-critical delivery routes.”
VDS management team will remain in place, and Copley will work closely with them to support continued growth through enhanced operational capabilities, potential service expansion, and strategic investments.
BellMark Partners acted as transaction advisor to Vital Delivery Solutions. KeyBank acted as lender to support the transaction.
