Arcade Beauty is acquiring Groupe Rocher's Ploërmel factory, which resulted from a shared desire to guarantee production of the group's current volumes, the acquisition of all the facilities at the Ploërmel plant and the reinstatement of all jobs after the intention to sell Groupe Rocher's perfume production site.
The acquisition is based on a five-year exclusive production agreement for the group's existing volumes, thus ensuring the stability and continuity of the operations at Ploërmel.
Vincent Taglioni, group chief operating officer, Groupe Rocher, said, “The exclusive negotiations we are conducting with Arcade Beauty are a very promising first step towards the takeover of the Ploërmel site and all its jobs. I would like to thank our teams for their commitment, determination and confidence. We are working with the buyer, with whom we share a vision for the future of the site and common values, to create the conditions for a successful transition.”
Carl Allain, CEO and president of Arcade Beauty, said, “The Ploërmel site, with its industrial capacity and know-how, is exactly what we were looking for to expand our product offering and pursue our commercial development. All our teams are working hard to finalize negotiations with Groupe Rocher, with a view to preserving production and jobs at the site. I am convinced that Ploërmel will be one of our group's industrial flagships in the very near future."
