Siparex Sees Big Future in Pharmactive’s Natural Nutraceutical Expertise

Madrid – Private Equity group Siparex, Paris, has taken a minority stake in Pharmactive, a company specializing in the research, development, and extraction of branded natural ingredients.

Pharmactive, a science-based botanical ingredient leader, continues to experiencee a strong growth and development curve, which has only accelerated since 2017. The company has logged an average annual sales growth greater than 23%, driven primarily by the success of its premium products affron® saffron extract and ABG10+®, a pioneering black garlic extract. The company forecasts sales of around €12 million by the end of fiscal 2021.

“It’s exciting to collaborate with such a well-established PE,” enthuses Jean-Marie Raymond, CEO and founder of Pharmactive. “This new investment round marks a significant milestone for our company. We experienced expansive growth in 2020, despite the pandemic, and strong sales growth is forecast to continue in 2021.”

“Positioned in a booming market, Pharmactive is an innovative company led by an experienced and enthusiastic founding manager,” says Pierre Bordeaux Montrieux, Managing Director of Siparex Midcap. “Pharmactive stands out in particular with its unique validation positioning and systematic scientific analysis of premium products,” adds Stéphane Agaësse, Senior Investment Manager within Siparex Midcap. “We are proud to support them in this new phase of development.”

Founded in 2009 by Jean-Marie Raymond, Pharmactive specializes in high-end natural plant-based ingredients (such as the aforementioned saffron and black garlic) for the food supplement industry. In order to ensure the high quality of its products, Pharmactive has developed validation by scientific studies and research.
