Gleiss Lutz advised private equity firm Investindustrial on the acquisition of Aakamp Group by Farmaceutici Procemsa S.p.A., a company indirectly held by Investindustrial Growth L.P.
Aakamp Group develops and produces food supplements. It has its own manufacturing facilities and currently employs around 200 people. Farmaceutici Procemsa specialises in the research and development – as well as the production, packaging and sale – of food supplements, medical devices and cosmetics for third parties.
By entering the German market through the integration of Procemsa and Aakamp, Investindustrial seeks to continue its strategy of creating a European leader in cosmetics and food supplements. The transaction is expected to be completed by mid-April 2022.
