ASQUAN

Acquired by

COSMOGEN

CHINA Chemicals & Materials / Packaging & Containers REV 10M - 30M EUR

Context

This transaction represents Cosmogen's first external growth initiative since its spin-off and is a transformative step to double its operational scale. Driven by its controlling shareholder, Weinberg Capital Partners, the acquisition aims to create a new global reference in the premium beauty packaging market, the Cosmogen & Asquan Group. The strategic rationale is founded on the strong complementarities between the two entities. Cosmogen contributes its deep expertise in patented, technical applicators and its established relationships with major European beauty conglomerates. Asquan provides a broad, multi-category product portfolio, a significant foothold in the dynamic U.S. market through its work with independent brands, and well-regarded operational processes. This merger creates a more resilient and diversified group with an expanded product catalog, a balanced geographic footprint, and a wider client portfolio. The deal is a direct response to the consolidation trend within the wider cosmetics industry, giving the combined entity the critical size required to serve global brands more effectively and enhance its competitive positioning. The integration process is reinforced by the founder of Asquan joining the new group's leadership as Chief Operating Officer.

ASQUAN, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.0x).
