What LABOMAR does

Labomar S.p.A. is an Italian contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) founded in 1998 by third-generation pharmacist Walter Bertin, headquartered in Istrana (Treviso), Italy. The company develops and manufactures dietary supplements, medical devices, cosmetics, and foods for special medical purposes on a B2B basis for international pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic brands — serving over 100 enterprise customers across Europe, North America, and select Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Its technology stack centers on patented and patent-pending proprietary formulations including Mucowall and the forthcoming CLT 25/ChoLnexT 25 botanical extract for cholesterol management, supported by ISO-certified cleanroom manufacturing (notably via the Welcare subsidiary in Orvieto), 7,000 m² of logistics capacity at the L6 hub, and EU regulatory expertise across multiple health-product categories. The company also runs CE-certified medical device production through Welcare, probiotic and supplement manufacturing through the recently acquired Finnish subsidiary Pharmia, and functional cosmetics production through Spain's Laboratorios Entema.

The business model is quote-based contract manufacturing with no public pricing, targeting large enterprise clients primarily through direct field sales. Revenue grew from approximately €57 million in 2019 to €135 million in 2025 (+34% YoY), with EBITDA of €27 million and 60% of revenue from overseas markets. The group structure includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Welcare Industries (medical devices, Italy), Labiotre Srl, Labomar Canada, ImportFab, and Labofit Srl, plus majority-owned Laboratorios Entema (Spain) and Pharmia Holding Oy (Finland). Following a 2023 take-private backed by Charterhouse Capital Partners and subsequent capital injections from Tikehau Capital (€120M senior bond, 2025) and AltamarCAM Partners (2026), Labomar is executing a 2025-2028 Industrial Plan explicitly targeting to double group size, funded through both organic capacity expansion and continued M&A in Europe.

Direct peers

• Procemsa (Probiotical / Alfasigma CDMO ecosystem): Italian probiotic and nutraceutical CDMO serving international brand customers across food supplements and probiotic medical devices. Directly overlaps with Labomar's probiotic and dietary-supply manufacturing book following the Pharmia (FI) acquisition.
• Biofarma Group: Italian CDMO specializing in nutraceuticals, food supplements, medical devices and cosmetics — direct head-to-head overlap with Labomar across dosage forms and customer base, particularly for Italian and Southern European brand customers.
• Sterling Pharma Solutions: UK-headquartered CDMO providing API and finished dosage development and manufacturing services for pharma and consumer health. Comparable mid-sized, privately owned CDMO with active M&A history and customer overlap with brand-led consumer-health customers.
• Hovione: Portuguese CDMO with integrated drug substance and drug product services and growing consumer-health exposure. Comparable integrated CDMO model combining chemical/process R&D with finished dosage manufacturing for international brand customers.
• Aenova Group: One of Europe's largest CDMOs, headquartered in Germany, with capabilities across softgels, capsules, tablets, sterile liquids and semi-solids for pharma, nutraceutical and consumer health. Most directly comparable European peer to Labomar across CDMO scale, customer overlap (multinational pharma/consumer health), and dosage-form breadth.
• Recipharm: Swedish-headquartered CDMO owned by Advent International, offering development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals in multiple dosage forms with growing exposure to consumer health. Comparable pan-European CDMO profile with M&A-backed expansion strategy mirroring Labomar's.

Regional players

Broad incumbents

Overlaps with Labomar through laboratory-based services, QA/QC, and packaging/serialization support for international brand customers.
