    Healthcare & life science

    Acino is a Swiss-based pharmaceutical company, develops, manufactures and internationally markets well-proven and innovative pharmaceuticals in novel drug delivery forms. Ardian alongside Nordic Capital and Avista Capital will support the Group to leverage on the existing emerging markets platform to develop the B2C business through organic and external growth.

The Ardian team brought a deep sector knowledge, which I think allowed them not only to do a terrific job in that due diligence period, but also meant they could work very efficiently within our deal time frame.
