PSB INDUSTRIES (HEALTHCARE & INDUSTRY) acquired by CLAYENS GROUP

This operation represents the first programmatic bolt-on acquisition executed by Clayens NP since its primary sponsor-backed buyout, designed to accelerate the platform’s diversification into highly resilient and high-margin healthcare manufacturing verticals. Negotiated on a proprietary bilateral basis due to long-standing industrial relationships and a previous site acquisition in 2017, the transaction allows the seller, PSB Industries, to complete its strategic pivot toward luxury and beauty packaging while divesting a non-core industrial asset. The acquisition adds >€50 million in revenue to Clayens NP, driving consolidated group sales toward €350 million and establishing an essential manufacturing bridgehead in Mexico to serve the North American nearshoring market. The transaction funding mechanism leverages a combination of available balance sheet cash and a structured share swap, resulting in PSB Industries taking a minor equity position within the Clayens holding structure alongside the existing sponsor pool and management. This structural alignment facilitates management continuity, ensures operational stability across the five acquired sites, and underpins the strategic cross-selling of polymer and cleanroom manufacturing capabilities to the combined global customer base.
