Motion Equity Partners announces the close of a €215m single-asset continuation fund

Motion Equity Partners has announced the successful close of an oversubscribed €215m single-asset continuation fund for Olyos, a leading European platform specializing in natural health and nutrition.

Coller Capital, a global leader in the secondary market for private assets, is the vehicle’s lead investor. The fund also attracted support from existing Motion limited partners and new institutional investors, as well as a significant equity reinvestment from Olyos’ management and LFPI as minority co-investor.

The new vehicle allows Motion Equity Partners to support Olyos’ next phase of growth, and the acceleration of its ambitious inorganic strategy, both in France and internationally. In particular, it will facilitate the further deployment of its successful commercial model in pharmacy and online channels as well as financing future build-up opportunities.

Under Motion’s ownership, Olyos has tripled in size, through a balanced mix of organic and external growth. Since acquiring Olyos in 2018, Motion has deployed an ambitious value creation strategy, transforming a single-country lab into a high-growth international platform in natural health.

Upon entry, Olyos was a French-focused business with €40 million in revenue. Today, it generates near €145 million in sales, with a CAGR of +27% from 2020 to 2024, and ranks as one of the fastest-growing players in the European market. The company has executed four major acquisitions to expand its European footprint and now owns a portfolio of strong brands built around the core Olyos DNA of naturalness, performance and scientific background.

Rede Partners is proud to act as a strategic partner to Motion and to have worked with the team on this highly successful transaction.
