Ontex completes the divestment of its Turkish business
Aalst, Belgium, November 3, 2025 – Ontex Group NV [EURONEXT: ONTEX], a leading international
developer and producer of hygienic products and solutions, announces that it has completed the
divestment of its Turkish business to Dilek Grup.
The transaction includes Ontex’s business in Türkiye and related exports to certain surrounding
countries, marketed through brands like Canbebe, Canped and Prosafe, as well as its plant in Istanbul.
Under its new ownership, the former Ontex subsidiary will continue to develop, manufacture,
commercialize and distribute predominantly branded personal hygiene products with leading positions
in Türkiye and the surrounding regions.
Gustavo Calvo Paz, CEO of Ontex, said: “With this transaction, we conclude our strategic refocus on retail and
healthcare brands in our Core Markets of Europe and North America, where we have significant growth and
margin improvement potential. I want to thank the full Turkish team for their contributions and wish them the
very best in writing this new chapter of their history under the umbrella of Dilek Grup!” The expected net
proceeds, after taxes and transaction costs and net of cash disposed, are approximately €25 million, and
remain subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The finalization of the transaction will trigger the
recognition of a non-cash accounting loss of approximately €(70) million related to the accumulated
currency translation reserves.
