Seale Advised ConvaTec on the Divestiture of its Skin Care Business
Seale & Associates announced that it acted as exclusive financial advisor to ConvaTec Group (LON: CTEC) on the divestiture of their Aloe Vesta and Sensi-Care skin care business to Medline Industries, a private American healthcare company with almost $14 billion in annual sales. The divestiture is part of ConvaTec's strategy to focus on its core businesses and markets.
The sale includes the Aloe Vesta and Sensi-Care skin care business in both the U.S. and Canada (but excludes the Sensi-Care Sting Free product line) and gives Medline global rights to market outside North America.
