IBG (Innovative Beauty Group), a global beauty solutions provider, has been acquired by Fremman Capital, a prominent European private equity firm. The strategic acquisition begins a new chapter for IBG, as the company departs from its previous shareholder, Albéa Group. The transaction also marks a major milestone in the future development of IBG, enabling the company to accelerate its expansion and enhance its innovative capabilities across a range of market segments.
Fremman Capital is known for its strategic investments in high-potential companies and its commitment to fostering growth and excellence. The firm’s focus on sustainability and innovation aligns closely with IBG’s core values and business practices.

Additionally, it will continue to pursue the development of its innovative packaging solutions under its Fasten Packaging brand while developing its brands in collaboration with retailers or celebrities. Each of these business lines will strongly focus on supporting IBG customers to reach their sustainability ambitions.
