V4 Financial Partners advises Korott and its shareholders on its merger with Euro Vital Pharma Holding
V4 Financial Partners has advised the founding partners of the Spanish company Korott in the identification, design, negotiation and execution of its merger with the German-based group Euro Vital Pharma Holding (EVPH), thereby becoming part of this European group specialized in the development, production and commercialization of health and wellness products, particularly nutritional supplements, parapharmacy and dietetics products.
Previously, in 2019, V4 Financial Partners advised Korott in the acquisition of 100% of the VivePlus Group’s capital, which was specialized in the distribution, marketing and sale of dietary foods and nutritional supplements. This operation allowed Korott to accelerate its growth plan and consolidate its position in the Spanish market, with a presence in all the large distribution chains in the country.
As a result of the current merger between Korott and EVPH, Korott’s shareholders become one of the most important investors in the European group. Besides, Korott’s management team will maintain its functions and will assume new roles in the management structure at a European level.
Javier Blanes, representative of Korott’s current shareholders and Managing Director of the Korott Group, says: “We are excited to start our collaboration on this project. EVPH has demonstrated a strong commitment to our capabilities and expertise, and significant confidence in our firm.”
Stephan Weber, CEO of EVPH, explains: “It is not a simple sum that integrates two businesses, but a transformation operation that generates a unique business at a European level.”
Likewise, Rafael Vilaplana, Partner of V4 Financial Partners, “With this latest transaction Korott consolidates a strategy initiated in 2018, by which it intensifies its presence in the Spanish market and achieves its internationalization. This transaction is going to be very positive for the Group’s customers as well as for Korott’s employees and environment.”
