CONSUMER healthcare business Opella - the name behind Australian-made brands Nature's Own, Ostelin and Cenovis - has officially exited Sanofi Group and is now a fully standalone company.
Now majority-owned by CD&R, with Sanofi retaining a 48.2% stake, the transition marks a new chapter as Opella focuses on leading a self-care revolution in Australia.
Headquartered in France, Opella ANZ is located in Brisbane, where its factory produces over two billion vitamin tablets and soft-gel capsules per year.
The company is also behind over-the-counter brands Telfast, Buscopan, Dulcolax, Phenergen, Mersynofen and Selsun, and recently achieved B Corp status, demonstrating its "commitment to a greener future for all Australians".
Opella ANZ's GM Lee Coomber stated: "It's great to be leading the Opella ANZ team through this new chapter as a stand-alone business."
