A listed company, Prim S.A. was founded in 1870 and supplies medical and orthopedic products, as well as provides wellness products for residential and commercial customers by its Spa division. This division, Prim Spa, has been a sales partner of KLAFS in Spain for many years. It employs 40 people, generating an expected turnover for 2023 of 7 million euros.
“Prim Spa enjoys a strong position in Spain, Mexico and the Caribbean and its high standards make it an excellent fit for the KLAFS Group,” says Phillip Rock, CEO of KLAFS. “We have already been working together for many years in a successful trust-based relationship and see excellent opportunities for further growth with Prim Spa in those countries, particularly in the hotel sector but also in the premium private customer segment.”
“We are growing rapidly at the moment, and the sale of our Spa division to KLAFS will enable us to concentrate on our core activities and further strengthen their positive development,” adds Fernando Juan Oliveros Arreaga, CEO of Prim S.A., “Prim’s wellness and spa business enjoys a market leading position and good profitability, but it requires different structures in the medium term than other business areas of the company, and we firmly believe that, for Prim Spa, joining the KLAFS Group will open up even greater opportunities for growth.”
