Impag Group, a Swiss-based distributor of raw materials, ingredients, and active pharmaceutical ingredients owned by Deutsche Private Equity (DPE), has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Comindex, a Spanish company specializing in the distribution of additives and chemical specialties. With this transaction, IMPAG Group continues its strategy of sustainable growth and targeted expansion across Europe.

We are combining our expertise, expanding our offering, and creating added value for our customers, suppliers, and employees throughout Europe

CEO of Impag

Founded in 1959, and headquartered in Montornès del Vallès (Barcelona), Comindex will be integrated into the Impag Group, recently acquired by DPE, but will maintain operational independence, guaranteeing the continuity of its entire workforce, led by Anouchka Arp, the third generation of the company's founding family, as CEO.

The deal is Impag's second acquisition in Spain. In 2021, the group entered the Spanish market with the acquisition of Innovafood, a company specializing in the distribution of natural ingredients for the food sector. The addition of Comindex is highly complementary, as it gives the group entry into the industrial chemical business in Spain into end-use markets such as paints, plastics, inks, detergents, and adhesives. Comindex employs 35 people and has an annual turnover of around €20 million. Its integration into Impag will increase the Swiss group's turnover to around EUR 230 million in 2026.

“With the acquisition of Comindex, we have reached a new milestone in the development of the Impag Group. We are combining our expertise, expanding our offering, and creating added value for our customers, suppliers, and employees throughout Europe,” noted Remo Bernardi, CEO of Impag.

“With Impag, we have found a partner who shares our values and who will help us build our long-term success,” commented Anouchka Arp, CEO of Comindex.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
