CVC Capital Partners Acquires Animal Nutrition Business Units

CVC Capital Partners is acquiring two companies, Noviwest and Panavora, which will emerge from the sale of dsm-firmenich’s Animal Nutrition & Health business. CVC Capital Partners will acquire the companies, subject to regulatory approvals, while dsm-firmenich will retain a 20 percent equity interest in each. Noviwest will concentrate on vitamins, carotenoids, and aroma ingredients, and Panavora will cover premixes, feed additives, and animal nutrition services.

The transaction involves the separation of dsm-firmenich's Animal Nutrition & Health business into two specialized entities. This restructuring creates a strong European manufacturing base for essential vitamins and ingredients, which is noted as critical for supply security.
