$537 million (estimated).

As one industry observer put it, Lornamead has been “M&Aing everything in sight,” and its strategy of acquiring and relaunching orphaned brands appears to be working for this privately-held London-based group. Sales in 2007 were estimated at $537 million.

Lornamead acquires wayward brands with rich heritage and breathes new life into them with fresh marketing efforts, new packaging and updated formulations. One of its recent projects in the UK was the extension of the venerable Vosene shampoo line, which was created in 1949. In April, Lornamead, Inc. launched new Finesse Revitalizing shampoo and conditioner in the U.S. Next month, Lornamead will relaunch Yardley and Woods of Windsor.
