Volaris Group Acquires HUSK

Leading Wellness Technology Company Joins Growing Healthcare Portfolio


TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volaris Group (Volaris), an operating group of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU), announced today the acquisition of HUSK, a leading corporate wellness provider.

Headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, HUSK provides tele-nutrition, tele-mental health, tele-physical therapy, wellness rewards and fitness services. Founded in 1992 as GlobalFit and rebranded in 2022, HUSK’s technology serves over 70 million people as part of their corporate wellness program or health plan. HUSK will retain its brand and operate as a separate business unit within Volaris.

“Volaris’ approach aligns well with our core values and mission to positively impact the health and wellness of the companies and people we serve,” says Tony Frick, HUSK Chairman and CEO. “Volaris has a proven track record of acquiring strong businesses and empowering existing management. This transaction provides an exceptional opportunity for our HUSK leadership team to leverage Volaris’ expertise to pursue accelerated organic and inorganic growth.”

During Frick’s seven-year tenure as CEO, HUSK evolved from a legacy fitness business into a multi-solution, digital-first healthcare technology company. The HUSK team has supported millions of individuals on their wellness journey and achieved measurable health outcomes. In a capital efficient and profitable manner, HUSK was reimagined into the innovative wellness technology company it is today, and HUSK is well positioned for future growth and industry leadership within the Volaris portfolio.

“We are thrilled to welcome HUSK to the Volaris family. Their commitment to wellness technology aligns with our core mission of empowering vertical market companies to thrive. With HUSK’s innovative approach and focus on health and wellness, we look forward to supporting their continued success and growth within our portfolio," said Robert Turner, Portfolio CEO at Volaris.

“HUSK entered into this transaction because we believe that our vision can best be realized with the support of Volaris,” says Erin Markowski, HUSK President and COO. “As we take this exciting step, HUSK continues its commitment to client experience, product development and innovation. Together, HUSK and Volaris are well positioned to further Empower Healthier Living.”
