Leveraging Bioworld’s global presence, industry expertise, and robust infrastructure, the alliance is poised to generate exceptional value for consumers, brands, and retail partners. This acquisition will unlock new distribution channels, expand licensing opportunities, and strengthen the product portfolio.
“This is a partnership that represents a mutually beneficial opportunity for both companies,” said Raj Malik, CEO of Bioworld. “By leveraging our global reach and product expertise, we can create significant growth opportunities. This new venture aligns closely with our business and delivers exceptional value for our shared customers while increasing our footprint in the EU.”
“Joining Bioworld’s impressive ecosystem will accelerate our growth, allowing us to leverage its scale and support to reach more consumers with our comprehensive home solution.
