On April 02nd, 2026, McBride plc (“McBride” or the “Group”), the leading European manufacturer and supplier of private label and contract manufactured products for the domestic household and professional cleaning/hygiene markets, announced that its Unit Dosing division has made a binding offer to the shareholders of Eurotop SAS for the acquisition of the Eurotab Group (“Eurotab”).
Rationale
Eurotab acquisition is in line with McBride’s growth strategy and is anticipated to further strengthen the Group’s position as a leading detergent producer in Europe. The transaction will deepen relationships with certain existing customers and will also provide the opportunity to develop the Turkish operation as a platform for expanding the Group’s manufacturing capabilities and for accessing new target markets over time.
Eurotab’s free production capacity will help to address capacity constraints within McBride’s Unit Dosing division, supporting future growth with lower capital expenditure needs, while enhancing security of supply and customer service levels.
