London \u2013 <\/strong>Alantra has acted as financial advisor to Aminolabs Nutrition, a leading European contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on VMS and nutrition, on its acquisition of Zoka Pharma, a Spanish CDMO with a complementary product portfolio and manufacturing footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aminolabs Nutrition is a leading European VMS and nutrition CDMO with advanced capabilities across the high-volume food supplement dosage formats including powders, tablets and capsules. Majority owned by founder, Roger Ann\u00e9, and backed by investment partner LRM, the company is actively pursuing a targeted buy-and-build strategy across Europe following its management buyout from Waterland Private Equity in 2023.

Based in Valencia, Zoka Pharma operates two state-of-the-art production facilities with advanced product development capabilities, in particular in gels. With the backing of Aminolabs, the company is targeting a doubling of its Spanish turnover within two years.

The acquisition strengthens Aminolabs\u2019 capabilities across a broader range of product categories, including gels, liquids, probiotics, infant nutrition, and pet supplements, while also enhancing production capacity and efficiency in tablet and capsules dosage formats. With a strategic base in Valencia, the combined group is now better positioned to serve customers across Southern Europe and accelerate expansion into high-growth adjacent markets, including North Africa and the Middle East.

Charles Lanceley<\/a>, Managing Director at Alantra, commented: \u201cThis transaction highlights the continued value of specialist development and manufacturing platforms in the VMS and nutrition sector. We\u2019re delighted to support Aminolabs in executing its buy-and-build strategy, reinforcing our very strong advisory track record in the VMS CDMO space.\u201d

This transaction adds to Alantra\u2019s incredible momentum in the VMS CDMO sector, having advised on the sale of Biokosmes<\/a> to BioDue S.p.A., the sale of Perrigo<\/a>\u2019s internal CDMO (Richard Bittner) to DCC Healthcare, the sale of Windstar Medical<\/a> to Merz Lifecare, the sale of UST<\/a> to Somafina, the sale of GS Capsule<\/a> to Advent International, and the sale of Bee Health<\/a> to INW.<\/p>\n\n\n
