Adventia Pharma and ProA Capital form the leading Spanish clinical nutrition group

Adventia Pharma's clinical nutrition line, Medical Nutrition and its subsidiary Dieticare form a group to grow in an expanding sector while each maintains its independence.

Clinical nutrition has strong growth prospects. Inevitable market trends, such as the aging population, along with the robust expansion of medical indications, including the care of patients with cancer, dysphagia, or kidney disorders, among others, make it a segment of particular interest with high growth potential. 

In this context, Adventia Pharma, a pharmaceutical laboratory specializing in oral diets for clinical nutrition, and ProA Capital, one of the leading private equity fund managers in Spain, have reached an agreement whereby both companies will jointly address the growth of Adventia Pharma and Nutrición Médica (the latter recently acquired by ProA Capital) in the clinical nutrition sector. 

The operation, consisting of the creation of a “newly created company” (NewCo) between ProACapital and Adventia Pharma, expands the growth capabilities of the companies in the new partnership. 

Medical Nutrition is a laboratory specializing in modules within clinical nutrition, as well as medications in different areas, while Adventia Pharma has a complete vademecum in both oral diets and modules. 

Thanks to this complementarity, Adventia Pharma doubles its market coverage in both Spain and Portugal, while completing one of the most comprehensive product portfolios. diversified and market-leadingalso gaining greater investment capacity in R&D and innovation in segments yet to be developed
