Montagu, a leading European private equity firm, announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations to sell Arkopharma (“the Company”), the European leader in natural consumer health, to Dermapharm AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dermapharm Holding SE (“Dermapharm”), an established and rapidly growing manufacturer of branded pharmaceuticals.

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Carros, France, Arkopharma is the European leader in natural OTC healthcare products, covering 12 key therapeutic areas under the Arkopharma umbrella brand and its seven strategic sub-brands including Forcapil, Arkorelax, Azinc / Arkovital, Chondro-Aid, Cys-Control, Arkoroyal, and Arkogélules / Arkofluides. During its ownership, Montagu supported Arkopharma’s growth by investing in innovation and accelerating product development.

Guillaume Jabalot, Director at Montagu, said: “Arkopharma is a great example of Montagu’s strategy of partnering with high-quality healthcare companies in their pursuit of growth. We are proud of the success Arkopharma has achieved, and we are certain that the Company will continue to thrive under the ownership of Dermapharm. We would especially like to thank the management team and all Arkopharma’s employees for their hard work and dedication, and we wish them all the best on their future journey.”
