Hypermarcas Expands Skin Care Stable

Buys Mantecorp, maker of Episol sun and Epidrat skin care.

Hypermarcas SA—the Brazilian manufacturer of household and personal care products including Monange shampoos and conditioners and Assim floor care produts—says it will acquire Mantecorp Industria Quimica & Farmaceutica SA in deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion.

Incorporated in 2006 as an independent organization after 17 years of partnership with the Schering-Plough, drugmaker Mantecorp also manufactures personal care products such as the Episol sun-protection range and Epidrat skin and hair care, as well as OTC medications.

Hypermarcas has been busy on the acquisition front in 2010, acquiring generic-drug manufacturer Laboratorio Neo Quimica, diaper-maker Sapeka and recently, the Pom Pom children’s soap brand from Colgate-Palmolive.
