maconda supports Emeram in its investment in the direct marketer of high-quality pet food Provital

maconda news July 2024

Provital, the fast-growing direct distributor of high-quality food for dogs and cats, has a new shareholder: funds advised by private equity firm EMERAM have acquired a stake in the leading German specialist. Provital distributes its "Anifit" brand nationwide via more than 2,000 specialist advisors. The Cologne-based consulting boutique maconda accompanied the transaction with an in-depth, detailed Commercial Due Diligence.

maconda is a leader in Commercial Due Diligence in the German food segment. The Cologne-based consultants have a great deal of experience across the entire value chain, particularly in pet food – from raw materials to production and contract manufacturing, which is widespread in the industry, to distribution and the operation of various sales channels. The Commercial Due Diligence for Provital focussed particularly on the assessment of future demand, especially in the premium segment for wet food, in which Provital operates successfully.

Provital has already grown faster than the market in recent years and has significantly expanded its market share in Germany and Austria, based on high quality, its concept of animal-friendly pet food and, above all, its highly motivated specialist sales advisors – almost all of whom are just as much dog and cat lovers as their customers. These specialist advisors support their customers professionally and maintain a close relationship with them.

During the Commercial Due Diligence, maconda utilised a variety of smart analysis tools to determine the further growth potential for Provital. This also included detailed micro-geographical analyses, which can be used to identify untapped sales potential, for example. This is a method that has long been part of maconda’s standard repertoire for analyses of consumer goods, including a clear cartographic representation.
