Overview of this buyer for a pharma/cosmetics CMO 

The management of a pharma company from outside of Europe, that has started seeking expansion in Europe due to significant sales increases in their domestic country. Therefore, the company requires a target facility to manufacture around three million products per annum for its clients.

Profile (strategy) of this cosmetics contract manufacturing company buyer

The buyer is a cosmetics company with a global reach and a long history. The company is specialized in the production, and distribution of natural cosmetics, and has its own product line. The company is selling natural product in the form of e.g.

• Sprays
• Bath rocks
• Creams
• Deodorants
• Gels
• Bath soaks etc.

The company is based outside of Europe, however, the management decided to start some activities there. The company has between 2-4 million EUR in its balance sheet to contribute to the purchase of an established facility. In case of a larger acquisition, bank financing would be involved.

Activities and products of an ideal target CMO

This buyer company is planning to launch a new brand to the market. Rather than expand its current manufacturing facility the buyer is looking at European opportunities.

The priority of the buyer is a cosmetic/pharma CMO facility that can produce around 3 million units per annum on top of their current production. Or has a production line for creams and sprays that has an output of 50 bottles per minute. Knowledge and experience in the business of the buyer are not required, however, it would be an advantage.

The target should be manufacturing-ready and have free production capacities. The current management would stay in place preferably after the acquisition. The current revenue or financials of the company are not as decisive as the owner is planning to perform their production. On the other hand, the target should not be in loss or in significant debt.
