Boosting commitment to sustainable animal care: Global leader acquires Brazilian biotech company

Deal Flash

Olmix Group, a portfolio company of Motion Equity Partners, has acquired a majority stake in Yes Sinergy, a portfolio company of Aqua Capital. With this sale, Aqua Capital, which has been a majority shareholder since 2016, is completing a partial exit from the company.

Olmix Group specializes in developing, producing and distributing bio-sourced solutions to reinforce the natural functions of soils, plants and animal nutrition.

With our acquisition of Yes Sinergy, we at Olmix Group are accelerating our international growth and establishing ourselves as a leading provider of bio-sourced solutions for agriculture. Thanks to Oaklins’ relationship with Aqua, we have been able to bridge the gap on many occasions. The dedication and diligence of the team were instrumental in securing the approval of all stakeholders on the rationale for Olmix to proceed with such a transaction.
