30 September 2024 Aesthetic Enterprises makes its next acquisition with Zipper Clinics in the growing market for cosmetic treatments
Vendis Capital, through its portfolio company Aesthetic Enterprises, the cosmetic treatment group comprising the chains SOAP and BM Clinics, is acquiring Zipper Clinics, the leading clinic in eastern Netherlands for injectables treatments and procedures such as eyelid corrections.
Aesthetic Enterprises, is a cosmetic treatment platform consisting of the SOAP clinics, offering a wide range of beauty, skin and injectable treatments, operating in 7 cities in the Netherlands, and the value-for-money clinics of BM Clinics, focusing on high quality injectable treatments at an affordable price, operating in 9 cities in the Netherlands. Both chains are leaders in the fast-growing market for cosmetic treatments and have been part of the Aesthetic Enterprises group since June 2024. With Vendis Capital’s support, the group aims to make quality treatments available to an even larger group of customers. This will be achieved through the opening of new clinics and the acquisition of existing successful clinics.
With the acquisition of Zipper Clinics, Aesthetic Enterprises adds two new locations in Enschede and Apeldoorn to its existing network. In addition, the acquisition means the addition of a new set of treatments: small, out of hospital, surgical procedures such as eyelid corrections. Zipper Clinics, which was founded in 2015 by Floortje Zipper and Michel Cromheecke, has an excellent reputation both for these high-quality treatments as well as for injectables (Botox and filler treatments).
David Sloff, CEO of Aesthetic Enterprises: ‘We are delighted to join forces with Zipper Clinics, which has a unique position in the cosmetic treatment market in the east of the Netherlands. We are confident that together we can continue to grow thanks to Zipper Clinics’ complementary offering. Thanks to Zipper Clinics, we are taking a further step towards national coverage of our group in cosmetic treatments’.
Floortje Zipper, founder and CEO of Zipper Clinics: ‘Michel and I are proud of the business we have built over the past 9 years. We have always strived for the highest quality and service and have been able to satisfy many customers. We see the same passion and core values in Soap and BM Clinics and look forward to growing together in the future.’
Vendis Capital partner Vincent Braams says: ‘With Aesthetic Enterprises we want to build the leading company in Europe in the fragmented market of cosmetic treatments. Always with the highest quality for the largest possible group of satisfied customers. Zipper Clinics strengthens the Group’s position and fits very well into our buy and build strategy. In the short term, we expect to further expand the group through new acquisitions, both in the Netherlands and abroad.’
