Ardian, a world-leading private investment house, is set to acquire a majority stake in Inula Group, Belgium-based herbal remedies company, from Vendis Capital, an independent private equity group, Dominique Baudoux and Sergio Calandri. “We have achieved strong growth over the past years, establishing our brands as leaders across Europe and overseas, as well as successfully integrating selected acquisitions. The key points that differentiate our approach (the quality of our products, our scientific approach, our focus on client training and the control of all the stages of the manufacturing process) will remain the key pillars of our future development. Ardian is the ideal partner to accompany Inula on this next development phase, thanks notably to its strong experience in the healthcare sector and its international network.” Sergio Calandri, Inula CEO
