EW Group, a global family holding company in the life sciences sector, has successfully completed the acquisition of Olmix Group, a leader in natural-based animal care and plant care solutions, from Amadéite and Motion Equity Partners.
“We believe Olmix is a great cultural fit for EW Group. We are excited to support the company in its development and bring it to the next level,” said Michael Müller, managing director of Global FA Holding, a subsidiary of the EW Group.
EW Group entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire Olmix in May.
“I’m confident that joining the EW Group is the right step for Olmix,” said Robert Clapham, CEO of Olmix. “Their commitment to strong investments in research and development, new technologies and international expansions will strengthen Olmix’s position to become the global leader in the natural biosourced solutions.”
