Healthpoint acquired by Dutch firm

Blackpool-based healthcare and beauty products supplier Healthpoint has been acquired by Dayes BV of the Netherlands.

The company was founded in 1996 and had been owned since 2017 by Maven Capital Partners, which exits with a 3.1x return.

Healthpoint has grown to become one of the largest suppliers of tertiary branded healthcare products in the UK, specialising in the rapidly expanding ‘value’ segment of the personal care and beauty market.

The company has also built its own portfolio of branded products, such as Derma V10 and Clear & Simple which are sold across a range of well known high street retailers including Poundland, Home Bargains, Savers, Superdrug and Bodycare.

Ryan Bevington, partner at Maven, said: "Since Maven’s investment, Healthpoint has established its reputation as a leading provider of tertiary branded products into UK retailers.

"It has been great to work with Amanda and her team over the last five years, who have delivered on their objective of expanding Healthpoint’s customer base and product range. We look forward to seeing them continue that growth under new ownership."
