Esoform has been acquired by Ecolab
The family owners of Esoform have sold the company to Ecolab for an undisclosed consideration.
Esoform is active in the study, development, production and commercialization of disinfectants, infection prevention and personal care solutions. The company is a leading player in the Italian hospital market with a presence in pharmacies and the mass market.
Ecolab, based in the US, is the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technologies and services that provide and protect clean water, safe food, abundant energy and healthy environments. With this transaction Ecolab plans to expand its healthcare business into Europe, using the Esoform manufacturing plant as the production hub for the region.
Oaklins' team in Italy advised Esoform on the exit strategy and conducted negotiations with potential buyers throughout the transaction. Through a series of bids, the team optimized their proceeds and obtained a remarkable multiple from Ecolab.
