Naturex denies any participation in the process to acquire the Diana Group
Avignon, 10th March 2014 - Naturex, the global leader in specialty plant-based natural ingredients, following rumours circulating in the media regarding the potential acquisition of the Diana Group, a French provider of natural ingredients for industry, in the interest of transparency, is obliged to issue a statement to its shareholders.
The financial media reported in January 2014 that the private equity firm Ardian (ex AXA Private equity) intended to accelerate the sale of Diana Group it had acquired in 2007.
