Abu Dhabi | EcoPulse24

Mubadala Investment Company, wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government, announced the sale of its minority stake in Arcadia Consumer Healthcare. This comes as investment funds managed by Bain Capital completed the acquisition of the US-based company specializing in health and personal care products.

Mubadala explained that the exit follows a partnership of nearly four years, during which it supported Arcadia's transformation into a leading platform in the North American market by accelerating organic growth and executing strategic acquisitions, including Avrio and Closys.

During this partnership, Arcadia experienced robust growth, with its revenues tripling and profitability significantly improving, reflecting the efficiency of its business model and operational performance.

Mubadala stated that this divestment is part of its investment approach focused on building sustainable platforms and creating long-term value, while allowing strategic partners to lead the next growth phases.

Bain Capital, in turn, commended Mubadala's role during the partnership, noting that its long-term vision, effective governance, and strategic support helped lay the foundation for Arcadia's new phase of expansion and sustainable growth.
