Some of the least talked about healthcare needs can also be some of the most resilient consumer categories. From treating eczema and athlete's foot to managing intimate health and everyday wellness, consumers consistently turn to trusted over-the-counter brands.

Headquartered in Sweden, Karo Healthcare is one of Europe's leading consumer healthcare companies, with a portfolio of well-known brands serving these everyday needs.

KKR agreed to acquire Karo in April 2025, right after “Liberation Day”, a period of significant market volatility. Our in-house capital markets team helped us move quickly and with certainty, enabling us to pursue what we viewed as a compelling opportunity.

We see potential to accelerate Karo’s growth by:

  • Expanding digital and e-pharmacy presence 
  • Re-awakening heritage brands 
  • Driving supply-chain efficiencies 

In this episode of “Here’s the Deal,” learn more about why we invested in Karo and how this deal exemplifies key elements of our investment approach.
