UltraDEX extends its agreement with La Brosse et Dupont SAS

 

NORTHLAND VIEW

  • Venture Life announces an update on its UltraDEX brand. The Group has extended its agreement with key French distributor La Brosse et Dupont SAS ("La Brosse") to include the UltraDEX Sensitive toothpaste. The launch will take place in H2 2018 and follows the successful launch of the original UltraDEX range in Q1 2018 in France.

  • La Brosse, a former subsidiary of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.E, serves customers through large and medium commercial outlets across France, including Leclerc and Carrefour, and has market leading products within the oral healthcare space.

  • UltraDEX was also partnered in Italy and the Nordics in 2017 and, after delivery of product in Q4 2017, these partners have also launched UltraDEX into their respective markets during H1 2018. Both partners are building a presence for the mouthwash, toothpaste and spray products in pharmacies and dental practices. Separately, Venture Life announced the launch of the new UltraDEX 'One Go' range in all 797 of the Superdrug stores in the UK from June 2018.

The extension of this agreement with La Brosse is a real testament to the continued international success of UltraDEX, particularly at such an early stage in the Group’s launch of the UltraDEX range in France.  It also reinforced the Board’s decision to re-focus investment on the Brands businesses, recognising this area offers the greatest potential to deliver shareholder value through both new acquisitions and continued organic growth.

 

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
