Ropes & Gray Advised PK Consumer Health on its Acquisition of Puhdistamo, A Leading Nordic Consumer Healthcare Player

Ropes & Gray has advised PK Consumer Health, a portfolio company of Avista Healthcare Partners and Damier Group, on its acquisition of Puhdistamo – Real Foods Oy ("Puhdistamo"), a fast-growing Nordic player in the vitamins, minerals and supplements, sports nutrition and functional drinks markets.

This acquisition marks an important milestone in PK's strategy, strengthening its Nordic footprint by adding a true regional champion with a strong and well-developed omni-channel set-up.

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Lempäälä, Finland, Puhdistamo is widely recognised for its commitment to high-quality, premium products supporting a healthy and active lifestyle. Backed by a strong management team and a compelling positioning in the fast-growing premium segment, Puhdistamo is well positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory with the support of PK.

The Ropes & Gray team was led by Elizabeth Todd (Partner/ Private Equity) and Alex Robb (Finance Partner) with support from Victoria Srivastava (Associate) and Callum Flanagan (Associate), and Aidan Guo (Trainee). Additional support was provided by Jacob Bennett (Finance Counsel), and Chad Parkinson (Associate) and Trisha Shah (Associate), Benjamin Wonnacott (Tax Counsel), Michael Harris (Associate / Litigation / Enforcement), Charlie Critchley (Associate), and Anna Pugh (Associate), and Toby Pitchers (Trainees), Eva Allen (Trainee Solicitor) and Fang Wei Chua (Trainee Solicitor).
