Headquartered in Lummen (BE), the Equine Care Group (“ECG”) is a group founded in 2021 by leading equine veterinarians Dr. Tom Mariën, Dr. Frederik Bruyninx, and private equity fund Bencis Capital Partners. ECG has rapidly grown into a pioneering force in interdisciplinary equine medicine, treating over 55,000 horses annually and serving clients in more than 70 countries, redefining standards in equine healthcare. In 2024, the Belgian government recognized ECG as “Scale-up of the Year”, underscoring the group’s exceptional growth and industry leadership. To support its ambitious global expansion, ECG has also recently welcomed private equity fund CNP (Compagnie Nationale à Portefeuille; an international private investment company with Belgian roots, controlled exclusively by the Frère family) in its capital. This partnership will strengthen ECG’s position internationally while preserving its veterinarian-led model and reinforcing its mission of delivering world-class equine care.
