In 2007, Optimum generated US$185 million (€125 million) revenue and US$32 million (€22 million) operating profit. At year-end December 2007, the company had gross assets of US$51 million (€35 million). Announcing the acquisition today, John Moloney, Glanbia Group Managing Director, said: "This is an exciting acquisition for Glanbia as it gives us a leading position of scale in a fast growing segment of the nutrition market. It is a close strategic fit with our core areas of expertise in whey and sports nutrition and brings us up the value chain into consumer markets. Optimum also fits very well with the Group’s stated growth strategy and ambition to continue to internationalise our business. The transaction is expected to be earnings enhancing from this year.” Commenting today, Kevin Toland, CEO and President of Glanbia USA, said: “Optimum is a strong business with an excellent track record and reputation in the sports nutrition market, particularly in the USA.
